I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years built) in Riding Mill. Almost all the properties have already been sold. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Riding Mill?
If you getting a loan, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Riding Mill conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Riding Mill.
We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Riding Mill. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to see if these alterations are permitted?
Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Riding Mill will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of alterations or require the consent of another owner. Certain additions call for local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

I am expecting a DIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Riding Mill solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Riding Mill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
How does conveyancing in Riding Mill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Riding Mill contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Riding Mill tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Riding Mill or who has acted in the same development.
