The routine conveyancing procedure is to obtain a Local Authority, Drainage (Con29DW or personal) and Environmental Search, plus, depending on certain criteria, some less common searches if your solicitor feels it is necessary, which might include Subsidence.
Read our Short Guide to Conveyancing Searches for more info.
If you have arranged a mortgage, your lender will specify certain searches, and yes these are compulsory.
These conveyancing searches will form a standardised bundle of queries to various local authorities, undertaken on your behalf by the solicitor, and will include, for example a Water and Drainage Search. Conveyancing searches are very informative, and can inform you of any environmental issues surrounding the property, but will
only relate to facets affecting the legal title, not the actual physical state of the property. For this you will need a survey.
Our Short Guide to Conveyancing Searches will give you more info.
This all depends on several factors, but your conveyancer will be able to talk you through the options. It may be that your mortgage lender specifies personal searches, in which case you will need a company like Searches UK - 0800 043 1815.
It can take anywhere from around a month to 12 weeks, which can be hampered by various things, such as the speed of the vendor's solicitor, or the turnaround of searches.
Our conveyancers are highly results-orientated, completing the legal process as promptly as we possibly can.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors strongly advise that Cambridge buyers book a property survey. It is a fact that there are many problems that will impact a property. These can include poor drainage or flat roof leaks, and issues such as these are not likely to be investigated as part of the conveyancing itself.
Homeward Legal takes a very active approach to concluding the conveyancing work as fast as possible.
Our conveyancing solicitors try to communicate through all parts of the buyer and seller chain and that utilise new CMS systems to finish your house move to your preferred move date.
Soil contamination by industrial waste, including metals, will have occurred in parts of Cambridge. Data on many contaminants, such as groundwater contaminants like hydrocarbons, will be included in an environmental search.
