Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Great Yarmouth. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Great Yarmouth?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Great Yarmouth. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, 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. Usually this happens early afternoon.

I am the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Great Yarmouth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in . I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in . Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

Intending to buy a apartment in Great Yarmouth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Great Yarmouth is on the conveyancing panel.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Great Yarmouth and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Great Yarmouth. We have lived in Great Yarmouth for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

I'm purchasing my first flat in Great Yarmouth with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Finally our conveyancing in Great Yarmouth is completing this Friday, however the owners I am buying from has asked to move out the next day at midday. Should I agree to such a plan?

You can't complete on a Saturday due to the bank systems aren't operating.
