I am due to move property in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Woodhouse Eaves. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent however this should only occur once the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Woodhouse Eaves or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Woodhouse Eaves.
I'm at the point of viewing flats in Woodhouse Eaves and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Lloyds.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
The mortgage over my property is with HSBC for my property in Woodhouse Eaves. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform HSBC?
Your original mortgage agreement with HSBC will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent 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 HSBC directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor.
My wife and I own a renovated Georgian property in Woodhouse Eaves. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Nationwide Building Society to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Woodhouse Eaves and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
I'm buying a new build house in Woodhouse Eaves with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

What are your top tips when it comes to choosing a Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you talk with two or three firms including non Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be of use:
-
Can they put you in touch with clients in Woodhouse Eaves who can give a testimonial? What volume of lease extensions have they carried out in Woodhouse Eaves in the last year?
I invested in buying a studio flat in Woodhouse Eaves, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Woodhouse Eaves with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2080
With only 55 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £31,400 and £36,200 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
