We are buying a house in Limehouse. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we will need to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

We are aiming to move house in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Limehouse. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the estate agent however this can only occur once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Limehouse or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Limehouse.
I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Limehouse. The Limehouse property was put into my name in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. Some lenders would take a sensible view as this obligation principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the primary cause of obstruction in Limehouse conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Limehouse took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Please supply a car parking plan. 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. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
