Buying a house in Trowbridge
Sitting on the River Biss, Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire. With a population of just 33,000, it provides all the urban amenities its residents need while striking the balance of feeling rural and relaxed. Consider its proximity to the Cotswolds, North Wessex Downs and the Mendip Hills, as well as the fast access it offers to the likes of Bath and Bristol, and it’s easy to see why there’s an active property market in the area. At My Home Move Conveyancing, we’ve been expanding our knowledge of markets like the one in Trowbridge since 2001, allowing us to bring our clients a specialist, fixed fee conveyancing service.

The local area
Surrounded by countryside on the banks of the River Biss, Trowbridge has a long and fascinating history. Evidence suggests the area has been farmed for as many as 3,000 years, while the site of the modern-day town once housed a motte-and-bailey castle, something hinted at by its street layout. The wool industry boomed in Trowbridge during the industrial revolution, leading some to brand it as the “Manchester of the West”, and laying rise to a unique number of mills and factories – many of which stand to this day.
You’re spoilt for choice with nine different National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in a 70 kilometre radius of the town, though this does mean it’s not as well connected by road as some parts of the country. Nevertheless, it takes just under an hour to drive to Bristol and only 30 minutes to reach Bath. Rail services from the centre of Trowbridge reach the two even faster, and also run towards Salisbury and Southampton. The closest airport to the town is Bristol Airport, while Bournemouth and Southampton Airports are also well within reach.
Parents will be pleased to hear that school provision in the town is excellent. There are ten primary schools to choose from, with top options including Holbrook Primary and Mead Community Primary, as well as three secondary schools – all of which include a sixth form college. Those looking for higher education facilities will find a great range of courses at Wiltshire College’s campus in the town.

What's involved
Once you have your offer accepted, it’s time to get the ball rolling on legally transferring the ownership to you. Here’s how we do things at My Home Move Conveyancing.
First, your estate agents will send us a copy of the Memorandum of sale, which provides the details of the property, the amount offered and the name of the sellers and buyers and their conveyancers. You will be asked to complete your details and provide to us your instructions along with primary ID such as a passport or driving licence and proof of residence in the form of a bank statement/utility bill.
If you are selling a house, you will need a Conveyancer to act for you – that’s where we come in!
You will be asked by us to complete your details and provide your instructions along with primary ID such as a passport or driving licence and proof of residence in the form of a bank statement/utility bill. You will also be asked to fill in a Property Information form including some specific details about the property, its boundaries, any alterations to the property etc. If you have any additional paperwork such as planning permissions or notices, then these will be required by us to send with the contract papers. We will also ask you to complete a Fixtures, Fittings and Contents form to say what you will be taking and leaving behind. If the property is leasehold, you will be asked for information about who you pay ground rent and services charges to…
After we have received your instructions to act we will check the legal issues and title to your property to ensure it offers a satisfactory security for your new lender, as this is the essence of a mortgage.
We will also check the amounts outstanding on any current mortgage registered on the property as these will have to be repaid at completion. The amounts will be confirmed with you.
Usually, we will not carry out Local, Drainage or Mining (if appropriate) searches as we will put in place an insurance which will protect your lender. This is less expensive for you and quicker. Some lenders still require that searches are made and will not rely on insurance. If this is the case the searches will have to be made and the cost will show on the Financial Statement sent to you.
At about the same time that you receive your Mortgage Offer we receive a copy together with the lender’s instructions to act for them. We will consider the Offer to ensure that we do those things required of us as the solicitors and to check what other conditions have to be satisfied.
We will then send you the Mortgage Deed to sign and any other documentation that may be required by your lender. We shall need to have this back from you as soon as possible and certainly by the day before we complete. Otherwise there will be a delay.
You need to check that the Mortgage Offer is acceptable to you. For example, is the mortgage amount and mortgage product correct? Is it the correct method of repayment? Are there any early repayment fees?
We target a completion date for 7 days after we receive our copy of the Mortgage Offer but our being able to complete depends on the terms of the Offer and any peculiarities of your transaction.
If the new mortgage amount is less than the amount we have to pay to your existing lender, we will ask for the difference from you, before the completion date.
Following completion we deal with the registration formalities to ensure the mortgage security is perfected for your lender and any deeds will then be sent to your lender for safe-keeping.
Note – If your property is leasehold, we also:
Request your landlord to confirm that all ground rent, service charges and insurance premiums (if applicable) have been paid to date and that there is no known breach of the lease.
Have to approve the wording of the lease.
Have to serve on the landlord a notice of discharge of your existing mortgage and a notice that a new mortgage has been given to your new lender.
