Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Rhosllanerchrugog.Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Rhosllanerchrugog?
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 owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Rhosllanerchrugog. I have been living for the last twelve years in Rhosllanerchrugog. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Rhosllanerchrugog conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house one day, it will be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion houses with functional issues can still show up unexpected search results.A competent conveyancing solicitor in Rhosllanerchrugog will be able to give you some constructive advice concerning this.
