Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Werrington?
If you are buying a property in Werrington your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is asked for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the total price then this will be required immediately before contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is needed will be payable a couple of days prior to the day of completion.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Werrington. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Werrington?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Werrington. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

About to purchase house in Werrington. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Werrington lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian property in Werrington. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Santander. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Santander to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Werrington and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
