I am buying a property without a mortgage in Bowes Park. I have been living for the previous 15 years in Bowes Park. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Bowes Park conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it may be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion premises with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Bowes Park should be able to give you some sensible advice concerning this.

My house in Bowes Park is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does the conveyancing practitioner need to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nationwide 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 conditions fairly frequently in recent years.

My wife and I purchasing a victorian detached house in Bowes Park. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include checks to determine if these alterations were previously refused?

Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Bowes Park will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain changes or need the consent of a 3rd party. Certain extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Bowes Park conveyancing solicitors were chosen. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to issue the offer to the lawyer?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Leeds Building Society conducted the valuation? Have you informed Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Bowes Park bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Bowes Park conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

As long as the property lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
