This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Wedmore. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Wedmore?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, 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. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know precisely where to locate all the relevant paperwork so you can purchase or dispose of your property without any difficulty.

I was recommended by a few estate agents in Wedmore to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers ahead of another?
We don’t make any commission for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Wedmore with the aim of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Wedmore can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ lawyers. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to where the remaining number of years is under 80 years. It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. Many freeholders or Management Companies in Wedmore levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management information can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Wedmore.
