I am aiming to move property in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Royton. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this should only occur after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You will need to inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Royton or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Royton.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from HSBC as we want to carry out renovations to our house in Royton. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Royton solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
HSBC would not normally appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC list.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Royton. I have a mortgage agreed with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are planning on selling our house in Royton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Royton conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Royton. Having lived in Royton for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I'm purchasing my first flat in Royton benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it could put at risk my loan with Bank of Scotland. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Royton can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Royton leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such changes.

A minority of Royton leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers.
