I am looking to buy a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Beaufort who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing. Can you recommend a local firm?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Beaufort. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Beaufort?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Beaufort. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. Some banks would take a pragmatic view as this provision principally exists to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Beaufort conveyancing practitioner on the HSBC panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your HSBC mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I need some quick conveyancing in Beaufort as I am faced with pressure to exchange contracts inside one month. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?
If.Given you are not getting a mortgage you have the choice not to have searches conducted although no solicitor would recommend that you don't.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Beaufort and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act gives protection to business lessees, granting the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
