Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Topsham. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Topsham?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Topsham. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, 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. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
We are due to move property in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Topsham. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent however this should only occur after the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Topsham or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Topsham.
I am the single recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Topsham. The Topsham property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause primarily exists to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Topsham is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Topsham 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 Topsham 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 Topsham may decide 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.
Our solicitor in Topsham has identified a a problem with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Topsham. The seller’s lawyers have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that as he is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Just because you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will be meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your Topsham conveyancing lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Requirements. You and the bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with by the mortgage company conveyancing panel who has to balance acting for you and the lender
