Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Inkberrow costs more?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold premises in Inkberrow is often more expensive as compared to a freehold property. This is because there is an amount of additional investigations necessary in liaising with the landlord and management company to collate the information about whether the rent and service charges have been paid and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Inkberrow. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Inkberrow?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

Intending to buy a house in Inkberrow. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Inkberrow solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Inkberrow differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Inkberrow approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Inkberrow typically purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Inkberrow or who has acted in the same development.

The benefit of a local Inkberrow conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate.

If other friends have used your friend and they were happy that must trump using an unknown Inkberrow conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being local.
I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Inkberrow.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed however I have just had a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as normal as all ground rent and service charges should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
