I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Kingswinford. I have been living for the previous dozen years in Kingswinford. 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?
If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Kingswinford conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. One thing to bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it could be of interest to your future buyer what the searches determine. Sometimes properties with no practical issues can still reveal adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Kingswinford will be able to give you some sensible guidance concerning this.
We are planning to acquire a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Kingswinford who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local firm?

I am planning on selling our house in Kingswinford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Kingswinford conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kingswinford. We have lived in Kingswinford for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Kingswinford completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
