I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Yeading. I have been residing for the last dozen years in Yeading. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Yeading conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to do this.

Sometimes houses with apparent issues can still show up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Yeading should be able to give you some helpful guidance here.
I purchased a freehold property in Yeading but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Yeading and has limited impact for conveyancing in Yeading but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

How does conveyancing in Yeading differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Yeading contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Yeading typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Yeading or who has acted in the same development.
