Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in High Wycombe?

Two types of professional can carry out conveyancing in High Wycombe namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals handle conveyancing services that required to complete the disposal or purchase of property. Both are obliged to handle High Wycombe conveyancing to the same quality and guidelines so you can be sure that your conveyancing will be properly conducted and that the requirements and steps will be suitably attended to.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in High Wycombe. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in High Wycombe?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in High Wycombe. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide 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 Skipton?

Skipton must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton will allow you to rent 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 Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel firm.

I got the keys to my flat on 6 September and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in High Wycombe advises it would be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in High Wycombe uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in High Wycombe registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not typically top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in High Wycombe prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to grant a loan on this type of house.
