After the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was maintained a compulsory element of moving house.

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a North Kensington conveyancing practitioner on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Clydesdale mortgage has been paid off.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. North Kensington is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in North Kensington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in North Kensington may determine 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 property.

We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in North Kensington
