This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in North Woolwich. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in North Woolwich?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We are planning to move house in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in North Woolwich. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent but this should only be done once the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you can inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in North Woolwich or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in North Woolwich.
We previously chose solicitors based in North Woolwich on the Santander solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for handling the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Santander but by your North Woolwich solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
How does conveyancing in North Woolwich differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in North Woolwich approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in North Woolwich typically purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in North Woolwich or who has acted in the same development.
