We are due to move house in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Earlsfield. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent but this should only happen after the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. You can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Earlsfield or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Earlsfield.
We previously instructed solicitors with offices in Earlsfield on the Nottingham solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate sum for handling the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Earlsfield conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Nottingham panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Coventry BS are being a right pain. The Earlsfield solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I got the keys to my house on 2 June and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Earlsfield advises it will be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Earlsfield uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Earlsfield registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any other parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Earlsfield basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Earlsfield conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Earlsfield do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold 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 consent.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Earlsfield?
Conveyancing - in Earlsfield or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the problems before you move in.
