You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Woodley or throughout Berkshire is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Woodley. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Woodley?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
We are aiming to move house in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Woodley. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this should only be done after the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over.

As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Woodley or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Woodley.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Woodley on 14/1/2025, valuation was booked five days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Santander and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Are Santander entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Woodley benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Woodley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Woodley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
I’m about to sell my garden flat in Woodley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the service charge as normal because all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
