I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Chopwell. 95% of the flats have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Chopwell?
Where you are obtaining a loan, your bank will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Chopwell conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Chopwell.

Our offer on a semi in Chopwell has been agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Chopwell. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Nottingham started?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Chopwell conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Chopwell.
