I am planning to move home in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Childwall. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent but this should only occur after the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Childwall or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Childwall.
We expect to receive a OIP from Co-operative 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 Co-operative recommend any Childwall solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Childwall solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
Clydesdale have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Childwall has been agreed to, now what?
The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Clydesdale or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant forms. Clydesdale will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Clydesdale will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Childwall.

Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I own a leasehold flat in Childwall. Conveyancing was finished in 2011. I have heard that I should not allow the lease length get too short. What is the reasoning?
Childwall leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - normally ninety nine years when they started. However many flats in Childwall were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have under eighty years unexpired. This may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching seventy five years. To optimize the saleability of your property you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
