Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Page Green. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Page Green?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Page Green. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

I have justbecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Page Green for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Page Green conveyancing specialists.
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Page Green
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Page Green conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
