Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Purley. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Purley?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Purley. I have a mortgage agreed with HSBC. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Purley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Purley contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Purley usually buy 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 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 Purley or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey done on a property in Purley prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a mortgage on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Purley. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Purley especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Purley.
