This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Darton. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Darton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Darton bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Darton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
