This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Tooting Bec. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Tooting Bec?

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Tooting Bec. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office.

Planning on purchasing a house in Tooting Bec. 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 Skipton 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 Tooting Bec conveyancer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Tooting Bec differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tooting Bec approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Tooting Bec usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tooting Bec or who has acted in the same development.
