As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Cudworth what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the home moving process in Cudworth
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Cudworth or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, property agent and even potentially the lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Cudworth is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a definite emergence of a "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer ahead of the other parties in the conveyancing process.
I am due to move home in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Cudworth. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the selling agent but this can only be done after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Cudworth or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Cudworth.
My lawyer has informed me that defective lease insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Cudworth?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Cudworth off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Cudworth from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Cudworth can be reduced where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Cudworth state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. Where you fail to have the approvals in place you should not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor first. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but you should double-check via your solicitors. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is under 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. Some Cudworth leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.
