I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Redfield. 95% of the appartments have already been occupied. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Redfield?
If you getting a mortgage, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Redfield conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Redfield.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Redfield. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Redfield?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
We had appointed conveyancers located in Redfield on the Principality solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Principality?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Principality but by your Redfield lawyer. Some firms on the Principality panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
My husband and I are spending time viewing flats in Redfield and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have a conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Nottingham.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

How does conveyancing in Redfield differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Redfield approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Redfield tend to buy the real estate, 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 Redfield or who has acted in the same development.
