The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in home moving process, trusted by some of the UK's major banks.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Copse Hill. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Copse Hill?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Copse Hill.

This tends to happen early afternoon.

I am being told by my conveyancer that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Copse Hill?

The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

I currently have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Copse Hill. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?

Yorkshire BS must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel firm.

Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the number one reason for delay in Copse Hill conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Copse Hill.

How does conveyancing in Copse Hill differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Copse Hill approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Copse Hill usually 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Copse Hill or who has acted in the same development.
