My conveyancer has discovered a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Holbeach. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer says that he must ensure that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.

I am due to move property in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Holbeach. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this should only take place after the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Holbeach or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Holbeach.
My husband and I are at the point of looking at flats in Holbeach and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with TSB.
It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are taking out a mortgage with TSB, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

A friend recommended that where I am buying in Holbeach I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Holbeach conveyancing searches. It is a large document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Holbeach around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Holbeach Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Holbeach.
Given that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a house in Holbeach I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor about myhouse move before instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer due to be carrying out your conveyancing in Holbeach.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Holbeach should be the figure that you end up paying.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Holbeach
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Holbeach conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
