Established third party connections is an important consideration when appointing conveyancing lawyers.

I am aiming to move home in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Axbridge. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the estate agent but this should only happen once the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Axbridge or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Axbridge.
Can I be sure that the Axbridge conveyancing solicitor on the Santander panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Axbridge getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Axbridge conveyancing solicitors were chosen. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland done the valuation? Have you informed 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Axbridge I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Axbridge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Our conveyancer in Axbridge has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Axbridge. The other side have offered title insurance as a workaround.
