I am due to move house in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Hedon. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this can only occur once the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Hedon or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Hedon.

I am attracted to a couple of flats in Hedon both have about 50 years left on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Hedon is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The nearer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the marketability of the premises. The majority of purchasers and banks, leases with less than eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Hedon conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
