I do hope you can assist me. My Comberton lawyer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toapply for Comberton conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any options here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Comberton conveyancing searches.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Comberton. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Comberton?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Comberton. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
Can I be sure that the Comberton conveyancing solicitor on the Virgin Money panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Comberton getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Comberton lawyer having made sure that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Comberton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for obstruction in Comberton conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Comberton.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Comberton. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Comberton - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
