I am acquiring a property for cash in Bletchley. I have resided for the last Seventeen years in Bletchley. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Bletchley conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it will likely be be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Bletchley will provide you some helpful advice concerning this.
We see that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Bletchley?

I got the keys to my apartment on 7 February and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Bletchley said it should be formalised inside ten days. Are transfers in Bletchley uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Bletchley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Bletchley prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a mortgage on such a premises.

My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in Bletchley. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
They would need to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has your mortgage been issued? If so you need to make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-sent. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added expenses and delays. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.
