I am buying a property without a mortgage in Beaminster. I have been living for the last 20 years in Beaminster. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Beaminster conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches disclose. On occasion premises with apparent issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Beaminster should provide you some practical guidance in this regard.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Beaminster off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Beaminster accepted, the vendors do however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Beaminster. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Skipton started?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Beaminster conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Skipton approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Beaminster.
