I am acquiring a property mortgage free in Ripley. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in Ripley. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Ripley conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of guidance. One thing to consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your future buyer what the searches reveal. Sometimes properties with functional issues can still reveal detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Ripley should provide you some helpful advice in this regard.
My mortgage company has recommended a law firm on their panel based in Ripley but I would rather choose a conveyancing lawyer in Ripley or nearer to where I live. Are you able to assist?

The deeds to my house are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Ripley 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor should know exactly where to locate all the relevant paperwork so you can purchase or dispose of your property without a hitch. Where duplicates are not available, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your premises.
I am buying my first flat in Ripley with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Ripley in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders will not grant a loan on such a house.
