We are planning to move home in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Astley. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only take place when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Astley or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Astley.
I am buying a property in Astley. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Lloyds where a lease does not meet these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Astley.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being a right pain. The Astley solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I purchased my house on 4 March and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Astley expressed confidence that it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Astley particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Astley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the new owner is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am buying a new build apartment in Astley. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

There are only 68 years left on my lease in Astley. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the landlord. On the whole an enquiry agent may be useful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Astley.

Are there any major works on the horizon that could add a premium to the service fees? If a Astley lease has less than eighty years it will affect the value of the apartment. Check with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out how much this will be. For most Astleylease extensions you will need to own the premises for two years in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension.
