Finally the sale completed on my house in Ryde last June but the buyer keeps SMS messaging me to say her lawyer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Post completion of your sale your conveyancer should forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements specific conveyancing in Ryde.

I am planning to move house in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Ryde. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your selling agent however this can only happen when the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. You will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Ryde or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Ryde.

How does conveyancing in Ryde differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ryde come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Ryde typically buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in Ryde or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Ryde I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Ryde for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
