There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in Hanham but can you isolate your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Hanham
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Hanham conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Hanham. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Hanham?

Just bought a semi-detached house in Hanham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Hanham conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are concluded.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Hanham. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
