I am buying a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Eccles who is on the Halifax conveyancing. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

I am aiming to move home in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Eccles. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent but this can only occur once the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Eccles or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Eccles.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from TSB as we want to conduct improvements to our home in Eccles. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Eccles solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
TSB do not ordinarily instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB conveyancing panel.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Eccles solicitor - who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Eccles surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Eccles. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Eccles and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I am purchasing a new build house in Eccles with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it will affect my mortgage with Barclays Direct. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Eccles before appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a mortgage on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Eccles. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
