We are planning to move house in February. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Wells. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the property agent however this should only happen when the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Wells or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Wells.
We had appointed conveyancing lawyers locally in Wells on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional sum for handling the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Aldermore but by your Wells property lawyer. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
My partner and I are in the throws of viewing apartments in Wells and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with TSB.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with TSB, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Wells is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Wells are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wells you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wells may determine 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 property.
As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a property in Newport but I am based in Wells. My conveyancer (approximately 235 miles from mehas requested that I sign a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising.

Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are located in Wells
There are a number of houses in Wells on private roads. We are purchasing such a property. Are there any advantages to buying a property on a privately owned road?
Wells conveyancing lawyers will be well versed in conveyancing propertieson unadopted roads. The conveyancing practitioner will review the Land Registry data to identify any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a residents association that proprietors pay into to maintain the road. If one exists, the road should be maintained and appear better than council adopted.
