Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Frant. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Frant?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
We were going to get a AIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Frant solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Frant solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Frant on 3/6/2025, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nottingham and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Frant?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Frant. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
About to purchase a new build apartment in Frant. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Frant
-
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. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Frant accepted, the owner does nevertheless have a tied purchase. The current proprietors have offered on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing lawyer in Frant. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going with Yorkshire BS?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Frant conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Frant.
