Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Louth. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Louth?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Louth. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I am aiming to move property in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Louth. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent but this should only be done once the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over.

My fiancee and I are spending time viewing flats in Louth and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a solicitor appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with Clydesdale.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Clydesdale, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Louth and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Louth. We have lived in Louth for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Louth?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Louth. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Louth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Louth approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Louth typically buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Louth or who has acted in the same development.

Best to be warned if fixing the lift or some other significant cost is due shortly that will be shared amongst the tenants and will dramatically increase the the maintenance fees or necessitate a one time payment. Are there any major works in the near future that could add a premium to the service costs? The prefered form of lease structure is if the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this arrangement the lessees have being in charge if their destiny and although a managing agent is often employed if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.
