We are aiming to move house in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in West Ealing. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your site.

After that you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in West Ealing or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in West Ealing.
We have agreed to purchase a house in West Ealing. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Skipton be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton your lawyer must check the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to West Ealing.
Aldermore have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a property in West Ealing has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your estate agent will need to be advised as to your solicitor's details (be sure the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Aldermore or the broker and finalise any outstanding documentation. Aldermore will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Aldermore will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in West Ealing.
I'm purchasing my first flat in West Ealing with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in West Ealing I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in West Ealing in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our West Ealing garden flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a West Ealing conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your last West Ealing conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek consent via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
