I am aiming to move house in November. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Islington. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only occur after the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Islington or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Islington.
I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Islington. The Islington property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Islington building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Islington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The solicitor has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Islington 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to hold title original deeds to prove you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Islington is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Islington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Islington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Islington may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
