I am aiming to move house in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Hinton St George. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your estate agent but this should only happen when the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Hinton St George or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Hinton St George.
We were going to get a AIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Hinton St George solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Hinton St George solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Hinton St George solicitor - who is on the TSB conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Hinton St George surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hinton St George is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Hinton St George are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hinton St George you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hinton St George may ascertain 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 property.

I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Hinton St George. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as usual given that all rents and maintenance charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
Hinton St George Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing
-
The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the leaseholders benefit from being in charge if their destiny and although a managing agent is frequently employed where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments? Best to be warned whether fixing the lift or some other major work is due in the near future to be shared by the leaseholders and will materially increase the the service charges or result in a one off invoice.
