What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Bedminster
Do not opt for the lowest Bedminster conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Bedminster. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Bedminster?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Bedminster. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home.

I currently have a mortgage with Kent Reliance for my property in Bedminster. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?
Kent Reliance must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Kent Reliance will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Kent Reliance directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel firm.
