This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Duffield. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Duffield?

Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home.

I am purchasing a property in Duffield. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Duffield.
How does conveyancing in Duffield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Duffield come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Duffield tend to acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Duffield or who has acted in the same development.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Duffield?
Conveyancing - in Duffield or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects before you move in.
