This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Sturminster Newton. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Sturminster Newton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
We expect to receive a OIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Sturminster Newton solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Sturminster Newton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
My sealed bid on a property in Sturminster Newton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Sturminster Newton. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Sturminster Newton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Sturminster Newton.
Will my conveyancer be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Sturminster Newton.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Sturminster Newton.

There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which will figure out the risks in Sturminster Newton. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading response. The purchaser’s solicitors will also order an enviro report. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.

My wife and I have agreed a price on a Sturminster Newton apartment left to us some years ago in 2009. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing knowledge and, although retired, wish to conduct my own legal work. The buyer's conveyancer has informed me that their Lenders will not allow us to do our own conveyancing as they require the funds to be transferred to a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage requirements to conveyancing practitioners from all mainstream lenders state that If the seller does not have legal representation the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be told so that a decision can be reached as to whether or not they are willing to proceed.
