I am due to move home in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Isle of Sheppey. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent but this should only be done once the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Isle of Sheppey or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Isle of Sheppey.
We had chosen solicitors with offices in Isle of Sheppey on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate amount for handling the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Isle of Sheppey property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in Isle of Sheppey. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Lloyds?
You must advise Lloyds in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel lawyer.

I acquired my house on 10 October and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Isle of Sheppey advises it will be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Isle of Sheppey particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Isle of Sheppey registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies.

Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am purchasing a new build house in Isle of Sheppey with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
