I am buying a property mortgage free in West Kirby. I have been living for the last dozen years in West Kirby. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the West Kirby conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do consider; if you are going to sell the house one day, it will be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still show up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in West Kirby should be able to give you some constructive guidance here.
We note that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for our conveyancing in West Kirby?

This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a garden flat in West Kirby. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in West Kirby?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in West Kirby. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
We have agreed to purchase a house in West Kirby. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease does not meet these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to West Kirby.
About to purchase maisonette in West Kirby. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the West Kirby conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in West Kirby
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred West Kirby conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
