We are planning to move house in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Woolavington. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your selling agent but this should only occur when the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you should advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Woolavington or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Woolavington.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Bank of Ireland as we intend to conduct alterations to our home in Woolavington. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Woolavington solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Bank of Ireland don't usually require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland panel.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Woolavington. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is RBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Woolavington.

How does conveyancing in Woolavington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Woolavington come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Woolavington usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Woolavington or who has acted in the same development.
I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Woolavington both have about forty five years unexpired on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Woolavington is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the salability of the premises. For most purchasers and lenders, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Woolavington conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
