I am acquiring a house for cash in Ringmer. I have lived for the last dozen years in Ringmer. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Ringmer conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do consider; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it may be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes properties with functional issues can still show up unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Ringmer should provide you some sensible guidance in this regard.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Virgin Money Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Ringmer?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
