I am purchasing a house for cash in Ringwood. I have been residing for the last 20 years in Ringwood. 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 all but one or two of the Ringwood conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he 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 could be of importance to your future buyer what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where houses with apparent issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Ringwood will provide you some helpful advice here.

We're in Ringwood, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the primary reason for hinderance in Ringwood conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Ringwood.

Me and my brother have a renovated Victorian property in Ringwood. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Barnsley Building Society to clarify?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ringwood and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

How and when do I incur the Stamp Duty Land Tax due for my purchase in Ringwood?

Most solicitors tend to complete a stamp duty return on your behalf as part of your Ringwood purchase transaction for signature. After completion your conveyancing practitioner will submit the STL Return Form to the Inland Revenue and - as long as they have the funds - pay any Stamp Duty liability for you.
