I am aiming to move house in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Edingale. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the property agent however this should only be done once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Edingale or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Edingale.
I am the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Edingale. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in July. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this obligation primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
My offer was accepted on a property in Edingale on 2/7/2026, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to HSBC and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
We are downsizing from our property in Edingale and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Edingale. Having lived in Edingale for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Edingale?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Edingale. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Edingale differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Edingale contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Edingale usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Edingale or who has acted in the same development.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Edingale 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Edingale conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Edingale do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests 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 permission.
