As a first time buyer what is the most important advice you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Bishops Waltham?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Bishops Waltham or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, property agent and sometimes a mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Bishops Waltham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose role it is to protect your best interests and to protect you.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am due to move home in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Bishops Waltham. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across this page.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent but this can only take place after the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released.

I currently have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Bishops Waltham. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform UBS?

You must advise UBS prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that UBS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel lawyer.
