Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Keynsham. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Keynsham?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Keynsham.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Keynsham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this requirement is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

Me and my brother have a renovated Edwardian house in Keynsham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Keynsham and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Keynsham. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a property in Keynsham I would like to talk to a conveyancer about myconveyancing before giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor who will be conducting your property ownership legalities in Keynsham.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a matter reference.

My wife and I soon to exchange buying a property in Keynsham but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the owner of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however the lender will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?

The conveyancer listed on a bank approved list is duty bound to inform the bank of any variations to the sale figure. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to your bank then they would have no choice but to refrain from representing you and the lender.
