I am aiming to move property in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Lewisham. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your property agent but this can only take place when the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Lewisham or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Lewisham.
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Nottingham as we want to conduct renovations to our home in Lewisham. Do we need to select a nearby Lewisham solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Nottingham don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Principality are being a right pain. The Lewisham solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Lewisham 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

I'm buying my first flat in Lewisham with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on our sale of a £150,000 flat in Lewisham on Friday in a week. The freeholder has quoted £300 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Lewisham?
Lewisham conveyancing on leasehold flats normally involves the buyer’s solicitor submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to such questions the majority will be willing to do so. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the charge is technically not due. In reality you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to sell the property.
We have reached the end of our tether in trying to purchase the freehold in Lewisham. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a Lewisham conveyancing firm who can help.
