We are due to move home in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in East London. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the property agent however this can only take place after the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in East London or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in East London.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in East London. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Bank of Ireland have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in East London has been accepted, what happens next?
The estate agent will want to be advised as to your lawyer's details (be sure the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Bank of Ireland or the financial adviser and finalise any relevant paperwork. Bank of Ireland will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to book a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Bank of Ireland will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in East London.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in East London before instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of house.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in East London
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred East London conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in East London. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance charges will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
After months of negotiations we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in East London. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a East London conveyancing firm who can help.
