My partner and I are buying our first house. Our conveyancer has texted usto check if we would like to purchase additional conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's needed for conveyancing in Turvey
The extent of Turvey conveyancing searches should be triggered based primarily on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the locality and risks, your general attitude to risk. What matters is that you properly understand what information the searches could give you. Then you can decide if you personally think you need that search. Where you are uncertain, ask your solicitor to explain.
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Turvey
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Turvey conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Turvey. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

I'm at the point of viewing flats in Turvey and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with UBS.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with UBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
