I am in the market for a reasonably priced conveyancer. Do I opt for an internet conveyancer rather than a family Botley conveyancing lawyer?

On the whole conveyancing lawyers in your area will enjoy strong alliances with your local authority, which can assist with your Botley conveyancing searches that your solicitor will require. It can only assist if they enjoy good relationships with the Land Registry overseeing your area Botley, other conveyancers in the neighbourhood and Botley Estate Agents.

Please help. My Botley conveyancer is advising me that he is legally obliged toorder Botley conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Nat Westsolicitor panel. Do I not have a choice here?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Botley conveyancing searches.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Botley. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Botley?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I am aiming to move home in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Botley. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your page.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your estate agent but this should only occur once the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Botley or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Botley.
