We are aiming to move property in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Farnborough. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this website.

We had appointed conveyancing lawyers locally in Farnborough on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by UBS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by UBS but by your Farnborough conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
I'm buying a new build house in Farnborough benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it could impact my mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Farnborough I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Farnborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
