Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Feltham. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Feltham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers locally in Feltham on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Feltham conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Nottingham as we intend to carry out improvements to our home in Feltham. Do we need to select a nearby Feltham solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Nottingham would not normally instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham list.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Feltham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Feltham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Feltham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Feltham 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 property.
