I am acquiring a house for cash in Trentham. I have lived for the last 15 years in Trentham. 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?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Trentham conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it could be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion properties with no practical issues can still show up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Trentham should be able to give you some helpful guidance in this regard.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Trentham. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Trentham?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Trentham. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
How can we tell if a Trentham conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Trentham obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Trentham. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
You must advise Yorkshire BS prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Yorkshire BS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. You need not do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel firm.
Various online forums that I have come across warn that are the number one reason for stalling in Trentham conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Trentham.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Trentham 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to find all the appropriate documentation so you can buy or sell your house without a hitch. Where copies can’t be located, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on your premises.
