How up to date is your database of Clacton On Sea solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Do Aldermore send you an updated list?

This question may be naive but I am new to the process as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Clacton On Sea. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Clacton On Sea?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Can you point me to a directory of Clydesdale panel solicitors in Clacton On Sea on the Building Society Association’s Website?

The mortgage over my property is with Co-operative for my property in Clacton On Sea. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?
You must advise Co-operative prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel firm.
I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of stalling in Clacton On Sea conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Clacton On Sea
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Clacton On Sea conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Clacton On Sea. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Clacton On Sea - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Leasehold Conveyancing in Clacton On Sea - Examples of Questions you should ask Prior to buying
-
How much is the ground rent and service charge? Please note if it is less than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the value of the property. Check with your bank that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for two years in order to be entitled to extend the lease.
