Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Marshfield. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Marshfield?

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 shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.

Planning on purchasing a house in Marshfield. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance 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 Marshfield solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

I have instructed a Marshfield property lawyer having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Marshfield surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Marshfield I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Marshfield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Marshfield?

Conveyancing - in Marshfield or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are intending to buy and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the vendor to remedy the problems before you move in.
