Completed the sale of my flat in Holloway last June but our buyer keeps texting me to say her lawyer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your sale your solicitor should deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer.

We are due to move house in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Holloway. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent however this should only happen once the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. You should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Holloway or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Holloway.
We expect to receive a DIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Holloway solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Holloway solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Holloway with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I own a leasehold flat in Holloway. Conveyancing and TSB mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Holloway who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Holloway conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
