We are purchasing a flat in Middlewich. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Middlewich. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Middlewich?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Middlewich. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We expect to receive a AIP from UBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Middlewich solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Middlewich solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
I used Arc property Solicitors several years past for my conveyancing in Middlewich. Now, I need the files but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

I'm purchasing my first flat in Middlewich with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with Alliance & Leicester . Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Given that I am about to spend 450k on a house in Middlewich I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer about myconveyancing before giving the go ahead to 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 solicitor who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Middlewich.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a file number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Middlewich should be the figure that you are charged.
Looking forward to exchange soon on a basement flat in Middlewich. Conveyancing lawyers assured me that they report fully next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

It would be a good idea to enquire if the the lease includes any onerous restrictions in the lease. By way of example it is very common in Middlewich leases that pets are not permitted in in a block in Middlewich. If you love the propertyin Middlewich however your cat can’t move with you then you have a very difficult compromise. How much is the yearly maintenance fee and ground rent? How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments?
