I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Finedon. I have been living for the last dozen years in Finedon. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Finedon conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of guidance. Do take into account; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it will be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. On occasion houses with functional issues can still throw up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Finedon should be able to give you some practical advice in this regard.

Please help - my lawyer says that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Finedon?

About to purchase flat in Finedon. 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 RBS 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 Finedon solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Finedon is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Finedon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Finedon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Finedon may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Am I best advised to go with a Finedon conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal work but her office is over three hundred kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Finedon conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and they were impressed that must surpass using an unknown Finedon conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
