We are planning to move property in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Groby and Ratby. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent however this can only take place after the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. You can inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Groby and Ratby or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Groby and Ratby.
My lawyer has informed me that chancel insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Groby and Ratby?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
We previously instructed solicitors locally in Groby and Ratby on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for the legal aspects of the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Groby and Ratby lawyer. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Groby and Ratby took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 residence 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.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Groby and Ratby with a loan from Britannia. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it will affect my loan with Britannia. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
What are your top tips when it comes to choosing a Groby and Ratby conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

How many lease extensions has the firm conducted in Groby and Ratby in the last twenty four months?
I acquired a split level flat in Groby and Ratby, conveyancing was carried out August 2007. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Groby and Ratby with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2099
With just 74 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do 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 should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
