Is it possible for conveyancing in Keswick to be concluded inside two weeks?
First, If the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and intelligence. It is possible that they may have handled otherhouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Keswick conveyancing firm. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is said that 18% of Keswick conveyancing transactions are delayed or derailed after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being frustrated by almost 21 days. It is claimed that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home moves every year. Most Keswick conveyancing firms can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Keswick. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Keswick?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
We are planning to move property in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Keswick. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your selling agent however this can only happen when the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Keswick or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Keswick.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Keswick property lawyer having checked that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Keswick postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Keswick.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Keswick is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Keswick are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Keswick you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Keswick may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

The conveyancing solicitors undertaking our conveyancing in Keswick has sent documents to review that state the property is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not yet recorded at HMLR?
Almost all property in Keswick is registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Keswick conveyancing lawyers will be capable of dealing with such matters but where uncertainty prevails the conventional proposition presently is for the current owners to register it first and subsequently sell - this will have a knock on effect to result in a significant delay.
