I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Newport Pagnell. I have been residing for the previous 20 years in Newport Pagnell. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then the vast majority of the Newport Pagnell conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it may be of importance to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes properties with no practical issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Newport Pagnell will be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.
We are downsizing from our property in Newport Pagnell and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Newport Pagnell lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Newport Pagnell. We have lived in Newport Pagnell for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Newport Pagnell differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Newport Pagnell come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Newport Pagnell tend to purchase the site, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Newport Pagnell or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Newport Pagnell both have in the region of forty five years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

Can you inform me if there are any major works anticipated that could increase the maintenance fees? Who takes charge for maintaining and repairing the block?
I'm remortgaging a flat in Newport Pagnell. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
