Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Chalk Farm. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Chalk Farm?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Chalk Farm.

This tends to happen early afternoon.
My wife and I buying a detached bungalow in Chalk Farm. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve enquiries to determine if these works were previously refused?
Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Chalk Farm will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain alterations or need the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Chalk Farm accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Chalk Farm. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Chalk Farm conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
Me and my brother have a semi-detached Georgian property in Chalk Farm. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Chalk Farm and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
Given that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a house in Chalk Farm I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thehome move before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Chalk Farm.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a file number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Chalk Farm should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
Finally our conveyancing in Chalk Farm is completing this Friday, yet the couple I am buying from has asked to move out 24 hours later at at 2pm. Do I agree to such a idea?
Where you need a loan then your property lawyer will require that the property isvacant on Friday - the lender will compel it.
