This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Selston. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Selston?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
We expect to receive a DIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Selston solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
Our offer on a house in Selston has been agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Selston. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Principality going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Selston conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Principality approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Selston.
How does conveyancing in Selston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Selston contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Selston tend to 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Selston or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Selston is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Selston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Selston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Selston may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
