I am due to move home in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Hampshire. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent however this can only occur once the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. You should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Hampshire or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Hampshire.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Barclays as we intend to conduct renovations to our home in Hampshire. Are we obliged to select a high street Hampshire solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Barclays would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Hampshire lawyer on the Coventry BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Hampshire I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hampshire for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
How simple is it to use your search tool to find a conveyancing practitioner in Hampshire on the panel for my mortgage?

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Hampshire. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Hampshire - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I acquired a studio flat in Hampshire, conveyancing was carried out in 2008. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Hampshire with over 90 years remaining are worth £255,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2098
You have 73 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.
