Some advice if I may. My Holbeach lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toorder Holbeach conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. These Holbeach searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Holbeach conveyancing searches.

This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Holbeach. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Holbeach?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Holbeach. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
We are planning to move home in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Holbeach. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your estate agent but this can only occur when the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Holbeach or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Holbeach.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nottingham are being difficult. The Holbeach solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
How does conveyancing in Holbeach differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Holbeach contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Holbeach tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Holbeach or who has acted in the same development.
