Me and my partner are purchasing a property in Alfreton. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to put money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

I am aiming to move home in September. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Alfreton. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your site.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent but this should only take place after the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released.

I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Alfreton building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Alfreton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the primary cause of delay in Alfreton house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Alfreton.

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
