My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Curdworth. I I would like to check if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can you advise?
The first thing you should do is phone your solicitor and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can call Clydesdale who may be able to confirm.
We are due to move home in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Curdworth. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent however this can only happen when the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You should advise the removal company 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 finding a residential property solicitor in Curdworth or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Curdworth.
My lawyer has informed me that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Curdworth?
The appropriate level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Curdworth. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Principality?
Principality must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel firm.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Curdworth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Curdworth are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Curdworth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Curdworth may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Curdworth. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Curdworth - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
