Me and my partner are buying a apartment in Hackney. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we have to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

I am aiming to move home in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Hackney. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only take place after the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. After that you will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Hackney or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Hackney.
We previously chose conveyancers based in Hackney on the Nottingham solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nottingham but by your Hackney property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
The deeds to my house are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Hackney 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and order up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.

I am the leaseholder of a a ground floor purpose built flat in Hackney. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for a lease extension?

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Hackney flat is 150 Amhurst Road in December 2013. The tribunal concluded that the premium to be paid by the applicant for the enfranchisement of the subject property was £43,500. This case related to 4 flats.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Hackney.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated however I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all ground rent and service charges should be apportionedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
