This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a garden flat in Uxbridge. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Uxbridge?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Uxbridge. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I am expecting a OIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Uxbridge solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Uxbridge solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Uxbridge. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
