Finally the sale completed on my house in Wickersley last June but the buyer keeps whats apping daily to say her solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your house sale your conveyancer should deliver the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your lawyer should also confirm that the home loan has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Wickersley.
My uncle passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Wickersley. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £8000. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to UBS, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Where you intend to re-mortgage then UBS will insist on your using a conveyancer on the UBS conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your UBS conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the UBS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
We are aiming to move house in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Wickersley. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the selling agent however this should only occur once the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released.

How does conveyancing in Wickersley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Wickersley come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Wickersley typically 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Wickersley or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Wickersley
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Wickersley conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by senior management.
