Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Bartley Green who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from The Mortgage Works.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Bartley Green. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Bartley Green?

Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property.

About to purchase a new build flat in Bartley Green. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
I was pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Bartley Green to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any commission for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I've recently bought a leasehold house in Bartley Green. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
