I am aiming to move property in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Warminster. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent but this can only occur once the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Warminster or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Warminster.
My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our home loan from Barclays as we intend to conduct improvements to our home in Warminster. Do we need to choose a nearby Warminster solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Barclays do not ordinarily instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being a right pain. The Warminster solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Warminster. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Warminster

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Warminster I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Warminster suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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 lawyer regarding this.
Am I best advised to appoint a Warminster conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal formalities but his firm is located approximately 350miles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Warminster conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Warminster know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were impressed that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Warminster conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
