Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Chalfont St Giles. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Chalfont St Giles?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
Is it the case that all Chalfont St Giles solicitor practices on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Chalfont St Giles building society branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Chalfont St Giles conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your conveyancing practitioner must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Chalfont St Giles is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Chalfont St Giles you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chalfont St Giles may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Chalfont St Giles
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Chalfont St Giles conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
