I am buying a house mortgage free in Thurrock. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in Thurrock. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity 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 Thurrock conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to do this. Do consider; if you are going to dispose of the house in the future, it will be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with functional issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Thurrock should be able to give you some sensible guidance here.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Thurrock
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Thurrock conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Thurrock ground floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Thurrock conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Thurrock do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
