Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Swanage. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Swanage?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Swanage. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We are planning to move house in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Swanage. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this can only be done after the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Swanage or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Swanage.
I am the only recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Swanage. The Swanage property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this requirement primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for delay in Swanage house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Swanage.
The deeds to my property are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Swanage 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical original deeds to establish that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Swanage prior to retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Swanage. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
