We are aiming to move house in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Newent. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent but this can only happen once the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Newent or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Newent.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as HSBC, do Newent solicitors incur an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Skipton are being a right pain. The Newent solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Newent ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

I am 18 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Newent. I am not happy. Can you help me find new solicitors?
A conveyancer would have to be really poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you need to advise them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-issued. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental charges and delays. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Newent. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the invoice as normal because all ground rent and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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.
I bought a garden flat in Newent, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent properties in Newent with a long lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2083
With only 57 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
How does one remove a deceased person's name from the title deeds for a house in Newent?
If a Newent property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal you would simply be asked to supply proof why the joint owner is missing from the transfer, normally this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing more straight forward in the future you can arrange to have the deceased name erased from the title by submitting an application to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
