We are due to move property in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Headley. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your selling agent however this should only happen once the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Headley or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Headley.
I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Headley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers 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 impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Co-operative will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Headley.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Headley is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Headley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Headley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Headley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
