We are planning to move house in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Barnes. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the selling agent but this can only occur when the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Barnes or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Barnes.
We were going to get a DIP from Virgin Money this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Barnes solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Barnes solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Barnes on 13/10/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire 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 Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the local agent to do our conveyancing in Barnes. I am am extremely dissatisfied with the quality of service. Can you help me find new lawyers?
A lawyer would have to be really poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has the loan offer been sent? If so you need to make them aware of the new contact details and have the loan are re-issued. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid escalating costs and complications. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

There are only 72 years left on my lease in Barnes. I now want to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to find the landlord. For most situations a specialist may be helpful to carry out a search and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Barnes.
