I am aiming to move property in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Hartlepool. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the property agent however this should only be done when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. After that you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Hartlepool or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Hartlepool.
Can I be sure that the Hartlepool conveyancing solicitor on the Barclays panel is any good?

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Hartlepool conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Hartlepool postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Hartlepool.

Flying freeholds in Hartlepool are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Hartlepool which have in the region of forty five years remaining on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Hartlepool. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
