- Choose a new lawyer to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the Accord Mortgages Ltd panel
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Dunvant. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Dunvant?

Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
About to purchase maisonette in Dunvant. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Dunvant solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
My offer was accepted on a house in Dunvant on 15/4/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer.

Can the lender hold off the offer?

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
