I am acquiring a house mortgage free in March. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in March. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the March conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are going to sell the house one day, it may be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where properties with no practical issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in March should be able to give you some constructive guidance in this regard.
My lender has recommended a law firm on their panel based in March but I would rather instruct a conveyancing lawyer in March or nearer to where I live. Can you help?

My wife and I are selling our home in March and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in March. We have lived in March for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in March I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in March for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in March. I've stumble upon a web site which looks to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via web that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
