We're in Wallington, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Aldermore , and our solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Wallington. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Wallington?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Wallington. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
