I am planning to move house in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Acton. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your estate agent but this should only take place once the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Acton or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Acton.
My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Leeds Building Society as we want to carry out renovations to our house in Acton. Do we need to choose a nearby Acton solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Acton conveyancing solicitors are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Kent Reliance?

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Acton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Should I be wary about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Acton conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may suggest solicitors to use. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that most mortgage providers operate an approved list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.
We are 14 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the local agent to do our conveyancing in Acton. I am not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
A solicitor would need to be very poor to suggest changing them. Has the mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new contact details and have the loan are re-issued. Your conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added costs and complications. So that should be your starting point. Our search tool should help you find a bank approved conveyancer for your home move in Acton
