I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Bromsgrove. I have been residing for the last 15 years in Bromsgrove. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the Bromsgrove conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are going to dispose of the house in the future, it may be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where properties with apparent issues can still throw up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Bromsgrove should be able to give you some helpful advice concerning this.
Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Bromsgrove?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Bromsgrove but how do I know who's good?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Bromsgrove conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

UBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Bromsgrove has been agreed to, what happens next?
The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up UBS or the financial adviser and finish off any outstanding paperwork. UBS will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. UBS will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Bromsgrove.
