I am due to move home in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Ladywell. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your property agent however this should only happen when the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Ladywell or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Ladywell.
My wife and I purchasing a detached bungalow in Ladywell. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property include investigations to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor should review the deeds as conveyancing in Ladywell can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or need the permission of a 3rd party. Certain works require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Ladywell property lawyer on the Bank of Ireland panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, 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 Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I am buying a new build apartment in Ladywell. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ladywell
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Ladywell I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ladywell suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
