We are nearing an exchange on a house in Hither Green and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
Your property lawyer is legally required to check with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I am helping my sister sell her flat in Hither Green. Will the solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was kept a required part of moving house. An energy performance certificate should be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally arrange. If you are using a Hither Green conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable Hither Green assessors
We are due to move property in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Hither Green. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this can only happen after the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Hither Green or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Hither Green.
Can I be sure that the Hither Green conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?

The easiest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Hither Green conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Hither Green differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hither Green come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Hither Green tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Hither Green or who has acted in the same development.

Home movers in Hither Green opt for a local lawyer so that they can visit if they have problems, and to execute documents rather taking the chance of relying on the post.
There is a marginal advantage in opting for a lawyer local to the house you are buying, due to the knowledge of the region and potential local concerns - yet this is debatable. Most conveyancers are now over the web and may be any place in the world.
