Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a garden flat in Wroxham. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Wroxham?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Wroxham.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Wroxham conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?

Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Wroxham has been agreed to, what happens next?
The property agent will wish to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Yorkshire BS or your financial adviser and finish off any relevant documentation.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Yorkshire BS will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Wroxham.

Just acquired a detached house in Wroxham , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Wroxham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Wroxham is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property thus registration formalities is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Wroxham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wroxham come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Wroxham typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Wroxham or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we use their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Wroxham
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Wroxham conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by senior management.
I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing. I have since discovered that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Wroxham. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been instructed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Wroxham ?
