I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years built) in Radford. Almost all the properties are already occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Radford?
Conveyancing Searches are a critical link in the Radford conveyancing process. There are a large number of companies delivering Radford conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are usually referred to as personal search providers and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. Nevertheless, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must obtain their information from the local authority.

No. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings visible on the web. Where you are in need of a Radford property lawyer on the Aldermore please make the most of our tool.
My wife and I are in the process of looking at houses in Radford and I am about to put in an offer. Is it best to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a home loan with Yorkshire BS.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are seeking a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Radford accepted, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The vendors have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Radford. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Radford conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Nottingham approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Radford.
The deeds to my property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Radford 5 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to find all the relevant documentation so you can purchase or dispose of your property without any difficulty. If duplicates are not available, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.
