I am acquiring a property for cash in Fortis Green. I have resided for the previous twelve years in Fortis Green. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Fortis Green conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . One thing to bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it may be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. On occasion properties with no practical issues can still show up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Fortis Green will provide you some helpful advice here.
We just had an offer accepted to purchase with Darlington Building Society. I went into 3 or 4 high street solicitors but am unable to find a Fortis Green conveyancing firm on the Darlington Building Society panel. Can you assist?

My friend recommended that where I am buying in Fortis Green I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is usually quoted for as part of the standard Fortis Green conveyancing searches. It is a large document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Fortis Green around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Fortis Green Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Fortis Green Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Fortis Green.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Fortis Green?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Fortis Green. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Do I need to be wary about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Fortis Green conveyancing company?
As with many service providers, often referrals from connections can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward solicitors to retain. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some lenders operate an approved list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.
