Can you help? My Buckingham lawyer is assuring me that he has toorder Buckingham conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCsolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Buckingham conveyancing searches.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a garden flat in Buckingham. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Buckingham?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Buckingham. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home.

I am aiming to move house in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Buckingham. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only happen once the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Buckingham or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Buckingham.
My wife and I purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Buckingham. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to ascertain if these works are prohibited?
Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Buckingham will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of changes or necessitated the consent of another owner. Certain additions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Buckingham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Buckingham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Buckingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Buckingham may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
