I am aiming to move home in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Meltham. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent however this should only take place once the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. You will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in.

I am the sole recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Meltham. The Meltham property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this clause is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Meltham agreed to, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Meltham. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Nationwide started?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Meltham conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nationwide approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Meltham.

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for hinderance in Meltham conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Meltham.

I'm buying my first flat in Meltham with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it may put at risk my loan with Lloyds TSB Bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am selling my home. My previous conveyancers closed down. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Meltham if that makes things easier.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years unexpired on my flat in Meltham. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent should be helpful to try and locate and to produce an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Meltham.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Meltham, conveyancing having been completed in 2002. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar properties in Meltham with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2093

With only 69 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
