I am acquiring a house for cash in Heacham. I have been living for the last Seventeen years in Heacham. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Heacham conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where houses with apparent issues can still show up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Heacham will provide you some constructive guidance in this regard.

I completed on my apartment on 1 January and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Heacham expressed confidence that it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Heacham particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Heacham registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Heacham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Heacham contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Heacham typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Heacham or who has acted in the same development.
