I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must leave my let out apartment in Risca by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your conveyancer and urge them to they chase the other side, try to a target completion date that everyone will look towards
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a garden flat in Risca. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Risca?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Risca. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Risca conveyancing practitioners have been appointed. How long does it take for RBS to send the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have RBS done the valuation? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Risca. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Risca lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
