We are due to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Barnes Cray. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only take place once the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in.

I have paid off my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Barnes Cray conveyancing practitioner on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Barnes Cray I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Barnes Cray suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

My partner and I may need to rent out our Barnes Cray ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Barnes Cray conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Barnes Cray do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
I am the registered owner of a a ground floor purpose built flat in Barnes Cray. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?
Where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to make a decision on the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Barnes Cray residence is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case affected 13 flats. The unexpired term was 76 years.
I'm buying a apartment in Barnes Cray. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't see my conveyancer's name on the list. Is this a big problem?
Not every individual in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
