This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a garden flat in Ottershaw. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Ottershaw?

On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Ottershaw. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

We are planning to move property in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Ottershaw. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your site.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent but this can only take place after the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. After that you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Ottershaw or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Ottershaw.

Having digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Ottershaw solicitor - who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Ottershaw postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Ottershaw.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Ottershaw and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Ottershaw lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ottershaw. Having lived in Ottershaw for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Ottershaw is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Ottershaw are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ottershaw you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ottershaw 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.

I am selling my property. My past solicitors closed down. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Ottershaw if that makes a difference.
