Completed the sale of my flat in Canton last October but the buyer keeps Skype messaging every few hours to moan that his lawyer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened following completion?
Following your house sale your solicitor is obliged to forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where appropriate, your conveyancer should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps peculiar conveyancing in Canton.
I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Canton. Does the conveyancer commission an EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s became a compulsory part of moving property. An EPC must be commissioned prior to the property being marketed. This is not a task that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Canton conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local energy assessors
I am aiming to move home in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Canton. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the property agent however this should only take place once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Canton or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Canton.
We previously instructed solicitors locally in Canton on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate sum for handling the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Canton conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

My conveyancer (approximately 200 miles awayrequires that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising.

New build sellers have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've sought a quote from them. It's nearly £250 less expensive than my family Canton conveyancing practitioner. Should I use them?
Developers normally have panels of solicitors who are quick and who know the builder's paperwork and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they require an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not opting for the suggested lawyer is that they may prove reluctant to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street Canton conveyancer.
