I am buying a property mortgage free in Murton. I have been residing for the last twelve years in Murton. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. 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 almost all of the Murton conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it will be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. On occasion properties with functional issues can still show up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Murton will provide you some constructive guidance in this regard.

I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Murton property lawyer on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
My offer on a property in Murton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Murton. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with RBS going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Murton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Murton.
