This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Bamber Bridge. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Bamber Bridge?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I am aiming to move house in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Bamber Bridge. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent but this should only be done after the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Bamber Bridge or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Bamber Bridge.
When it comes to lenders such as Coventry BS, do Bamber Bridge solicitors have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Bamber Bridge?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Bamber Bridge. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Bamber Bridge I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bamber Bridge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my father I am selling a house in Swansea but I am based in Bamber Bridge. My conveyancer (who is 250 kilometers awayneeds me to sign a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Bamber Bridge to attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Bamber Bridge based
My husband and I are purchasing a garden flat in Bamber Bridge. When we first instructed solicitor, they assured us that they were on all major UK mortgage company panels. Our mortgage broker called yesterday to say that they are not on the Kent Reliance approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we just choose a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Kent Reliance appointing their own approved conveyancing practitioner.
If you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is standard for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the property lawyer has to fulfill. Some mortgage companies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact Kent Reliance to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Kent Reliance's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Bamber Bridge solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
