I am planning to move property in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Littleborough. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent but this can only happen once the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Littleborough or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Littleborough.
I'm the only recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Littleborough. The Littleborough property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML 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 might be affected by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Virgin Money are being problematic. The Littleborough solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Littleborough , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Littleborough conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the post completion formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Littleborough is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Littleborough conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Littleborough conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you make enquires with several firms including non Littleborough conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be useful:
-
What volume of lease extensions have they carried out in Littleborough in the last year? How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation?

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Littleborough.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated but I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as usual given that all ground rent and service invoices should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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
