I am planning to move house in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Syston. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the selling agent however this should only be done once the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Syston or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Syston.

I currently have a mortgage with Kent Reliance for my property in Syston. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?
You must advise Kent Reliance prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Kent Reliance directly. You need not do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel lawyer.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Syston , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Syston conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Syston registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Syston from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Syston can be avoided where you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers. A minority of Syston leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly 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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Syston state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Should you dont have the approvals to hand do not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor first. The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Syston levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Syston. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should verify this via your solicitors. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is below 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale.
