Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Bloxham. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Bloxham?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Bloxham. The Bloxham property was put into my name in March. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.

My sealed bid on a detached house in Bloxham has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Bloxham. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS going?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Bloxham conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Bloxham.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Bloxham from the perspective of expediting the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Bloxham can be avoided if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers.
  • If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic as opposed to unsettled. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your solicitors. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to where the remaining number of years is less than 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. A minority of Bloxham leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors.
