I am aiming to move property in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Bishopsworth. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your website.

On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this should only happen once the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You should advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Bishopsworth or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Bishopsworth.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Skipton are being difficult. The Bishopsworth solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

How does conveyancing in Bishopsworth differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Bishopsworth approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Bishopsworth typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bishopsworth or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Bishopsworth I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bishopsworth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

My business partner and I are hoping to lease a unit on a shopping parade. Can you recommend conveyancers offering no-sale-no costs for commercial conveyancing in Bishopsworth for under 2k?

Whether you are looking to purchase or lease a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail premises or a whole business we can find you the right lawyer.

Let us have your contact information or telephone so as to enable us to furnish you with a detailed commercial conveyancing quote.
