I am acquiring a house for cash in Ellesmere. I have been living for the last 15 years in Ellesmere. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Ellesmere conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do consider; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it will be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. Sometimes premises with apparent issues can still reveal unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Ellesmere will provide you some constructive advice in this regard.

Do conveyancers request money up-front when it comes to conveyancing in Ellesmere?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Ellesmere your solicitor will ask you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Generally this is needed to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is payable against the sale price then this should be asked for immediately prior to contracts are exchanged.

How can we tell if a Ellesmere conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Ellesmere getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.

Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Ellesmere solicitor - who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Ellesmere surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Nottingham have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Ellesmere has been accepted, what happens next?

Your property agent will want to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Nottingham or the broker and finalise any appropriate paperwork. Nottingham will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to get a mortgage offer. Nottingham will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Ellesmere.

Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that could impact a commercial site in Ellesmere?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Ellesmere will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Ellesmere. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Ellesmere.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Ellesmere it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Ellesmere.
