We are aiming to move property in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Ashford. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your property agent but this can only take place after the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Ashford or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Ashford.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Ashford conveyancing practitioners were appointed. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to forward the offer to the solicitor?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland done the survey? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Ashford on 29/9/2026, valuation was booked five days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Are Coventry BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian house in Ashford. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ashford and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage 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 practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Ashford is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Ashford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ashford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ashford may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I today plan to offer on a house that appears to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have since been informed that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are issues purchasing a leasehold house in Ashford. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Ashford are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Ashford so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Ashford conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a tenant you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the landlord’sconsent to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is located on an estate. Your lawyer will appraise you on the various issues.
I inherited a ground floor flat in Ashford. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount payable for a lease extension?
Where there is a absentee landlord or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to judgment on the price.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Ashford residence is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 82.93 years.
