I am planning to move home in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Fishguard. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent but this can only take place when the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. After that you can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Fishguard or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Fishguard.
We had chosen conveyancers located in Fishguard on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional charge for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by HSBC but by your Fishguard conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the HSBC panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Fishguard. My financial adviser suggested a lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £200. Soon after, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Barclays 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 Barclays 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.
