Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Redbridge. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Redbridge?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

I am being told by my conveyancer that chancel insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Redbridge conveyancing?

I am buying a property in Redbridge. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Principality your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Redbridge.

I have been told that property searches are a common cause of hinderance in Redbridge house deals. Is that correct?

Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Redbridge.
