This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a garden flat in Leatherhead. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Leatherhead?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I am planning to move property in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Leatherhead. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the estate agent but this can only happen once the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Leatherhead or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Leatherhead.
I'm the only recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Leatherhead. The Leatherhead property was put into my name in September. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
