I am buying a house for cash in Redfield. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in Redfield. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Redfield conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do take into account; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it could be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches contain. On occasion premises with functional issues can still reveal negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Redfield will be able to give you some constructive guidance concerning this.
is it true that all Redfield solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

I am purchasing a property in Redfield. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease does not satisfy these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Redfield.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, UBS are being pedantic. The Redfield solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Redfield is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.
