Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in St Annes?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in St Annes your lawyer will ask you place them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is as part of the sale price then this will be needed immediately prior to contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is due should be transferred a couple of days ahead of the day of completion.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in St Annes. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in St Annes?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am planning to move property in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in St Annes. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent however this can only happen after the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in St Annes or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in St Annes.
I had an offer accepted on a house in St Annes on 4/6/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Are Yorkshire BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in St Annes I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in St Annes for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
