Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Leamington Spa. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Leamington Spa?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Leamington Spa. The Leamington Spa property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
Can you point me to a directory of Clydesdale panel solicitors in Leamington Spa on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Leamington Spa. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the owner to discover whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could issue a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect response. A purchaser’s solicitors will also order an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.
I am an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a property in Leamington Spa which is to be sold. The bungalow is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that some buyers solicitors will insist that it is in place before they will move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems prudent to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
