I am planning to move property in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Forty Hill. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your site.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent however this should only be done once the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Forty Hill or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Forty Hill.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Forty Hill conveyancing lawyers were instructed. How long does it take for Co-operative to forward the offer to the solicitor?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Co-operative conducted the valuation? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Forty Hill. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £175. A few days later, the property lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Should my solicitor be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Forty Hill.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Forty Hill. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Forty Hill, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Forty Hill. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the premises has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s lawyers should also commission an environmental report. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Forty Hill took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in Forty Hill differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Forty Hill approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Forty Hill typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Forty Hill or who has acted in the same development.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Forty Hill. I happened to stumble across a web site which seems to have the ideal offering If it is possible to get all this stuff done via phone that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
