Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Totton. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Totton?
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 seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Totton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Totton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Totton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Totton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
