I am buying a property without a mortgage in Prescot. I have resided for the previous 15 years in Prescot. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well 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 Prescot conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it will be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still throw up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Prescot will provide you some helpful advice here.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Prescot. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Could you assist?
The first thing to do is phone the lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please get in touch with Virgin Money who may be able to confirm.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Prescot is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Prescot are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Prescot 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 Prescot may decide 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 residence.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Prescot
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Prescot conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
