I am aiming to move property in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Kingsbury. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the selling agent however this can only be done when the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Kingsbury or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Kingsbury.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Kingsbury. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a practical view as this requirement principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Kingsbury. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender TSB be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease does not meet these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Kingsbury.
The deeds to my home are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Kingsbury 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be recorded by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your property and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.

Me and my partner have just had an offer agreed on a house and had meeting on Friday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will incur an extra charge of £250+. This is because they would then have to select a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their costs. I have requested Leeds Building Society to provide me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You should ask Leeds Building Society what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Then ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please utilise our search facility and we should be able to identify a lawyer in Kingsbury on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
