I am buying a house without a mortgage in Rise Park. I have lived for the previous 20 years in Rise Park. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know 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 Rise Park conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it may be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. On occasion premises with apparent issues can still reveal unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Rise Park should provide you some helpful guidance here.
We are selling our home in Rise Park. Does my property lawyer need to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Rise Park is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Rise Park are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rise Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rise Park may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my aunt I am selling a residence in Newport but I am based in Rise Park.

Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Rise Park who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Rise Park
When it comes to my conveyancing in Rise Park should I be paying VAT on the following: (1) Land reg fee on purchase (2) Pre - completion search fee (3) SDLT E submission on purchase (4) Bank TT fee
(1) Land reg fee on purchase - No (2) Pre - completion search fees -No, (such conveyancing searches are HMLR ones and means £4 and possibly £2 bankruptcy per name on your mortgage) (3) SDLT E submission on your purchase - There is no VAT on Stamp Duty. However if the firm is charging a stamp duty e-submission fee as part of their services - some Rise Park conveyancers do - that will incur VAT(4) Bank transfer fee - Yes it is for the conveyancing practitioner's time in submitting the funds this way.
