My bid for a property was accepted at auction in West Thurrock. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Given that you are now exchanged you must instruct a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you are facing a pending deadline in which to complete the property. Every auction property will have a corresponding legal set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your lawyer will need. If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I am aiming to move property in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in West Thurrock. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the property agent but this should only occur after the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in West Thurrock or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in West Thurrock.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in West Thurrock on 17/6/2024, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Are RBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Various online forums that I have visited warn that are a common reason for delay in West Thurrock conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in West Thurrock.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in West Thurrock?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in West Thurrock.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in West Thurrock
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted West Thurrock conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in West Thurrock. Conveyancing and The Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing solicitor in West Thurrock who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a West Thurrock conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
Following years of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in West Thurrock. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

This case related to 13 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 76 years.
