On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the property agent however this should only be done after the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over.

I'm spending time looking at houses in Wallingford and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a solicitor in place at this point? I am planning to take a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.

It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are taking out a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Wallingford on 15/1/2026, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Are Principality 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 Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

What does a local search inform me regarding the property we're purchasing in Wallingford?

Wallingford conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for example Searches UK The local search is essential in every Wallingford conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search should provide data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Wallingford 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should be aware exactly where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you may buy or sell your property without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be found, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on the premises.

How does conveyancing in Wallingford differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Wallingford approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Wallingford tend to buy the land, 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 Wallingford or who has acted in the same development.
