Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Harmondsworth. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Harmondsworth?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Harmondsworth. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Harmondsworth bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Harmondsworth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your conveyancer has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Harmondsworth conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Harmondsworth surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I need some expedited conveyancing in Harmondsworth as I am faced with an ultimatum to complete in less than 2 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are not obtaining a home loan you are at liberty not to do searches although no solicitor would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Harmondsworth the following are instances of what can be revealed and adversely affect the marketability of the property: Enforcement Actions, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...
The deeds to my home can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Harmondsworth 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for twenty pounds.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Harmondsworth
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Harmondsworth conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
