I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Maidenbower. I have been residing for the last twelve years in Maidenbower. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Maidenbower conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will 'advise', 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 going to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes premises with apparent issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Maidenbower will be able to give you some sensible guidance in this regard.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a ground floor flat in Maidenbower. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Maidenbower?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Maidenbower. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Maidenbower. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A few days later, the property lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
My offer on a property in Maidenbower has been accepted, the owners do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Maidenbower. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Santander started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Maidenbower conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Santander and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
I require fast conveyancing in Maidenbower as I am faced with a deadline to exchange contracts in less than one month. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

We are in the process of a leasehold sale of a flat in Maidenbower. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we have been asked to pay a fortune by the freeholder. To date we have forked out £268 for a leasehold management information and then a further £117.20 for additional questions supplied by the buyers property lawyer.
Neither you or your property lawyer will have any say over the extent of the bill for this information but the average costs for the information for Maidenbower leasehold premises is £350. When it comes to Maidenbower conveyancing sales it is conventional for the seller to pay for these costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Regretfully there is no statute that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Nor is there any prescriptive time frame by which they are duty bound to supply the information.
