We are aiming to move house in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Ironbridge. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent however this can only take place after the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Ironbridge or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Ironbridge.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Ironbridge conveyancer on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, 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 Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so

My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Georgian house in Ironbridge. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ironbridge and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I'm remortgaging my existing property to a BTL mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on a second property.

Make use of our comparison tool on this page to check that the solicitors are on the appropriate lender panels. On the basis that they are the solicitor should be able to connect the two deals but you should talk with you solicitor and specify your desired outcome and requirements.
Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Ironbridge conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Ironbridge conveyancing practice) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you speak with two or three firms including non Ironbridge conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be of use:
-
How many lease extensions have they conducted in Ironbridge in the last year? If they are not ALEP accredited then why not?
I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Ironbridge, conveyancing having been completed in 2012. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Ironbridge with a long lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2090
With just 65 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
