We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Fareham conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Fareham. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Fareham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I am the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Fareham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
