I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Netherne. I have resided for the last 15 years in Netherne. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Netherne conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. Do consider; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where premises with day to day issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Netherne will be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.
My wife and I are purchasing a apartment in Netherne. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

My offer on a detached house in Netherne has been agreed to, the sellers do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Netherne. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Barclays started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Netherne conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.

I would like to let out my leasehold flat in Netherne. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Even though your last Netherne conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you must seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
