I am planning to move house in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Street. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent however this can only take place once the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to tell 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 assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Street or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Street.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Street. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Street property lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I bought my house on 9 February and my personal details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Street said it will be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Street uniquely lengthy to register?

Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Last March I purchased a leasehold property in Street. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
