I am planning to move house in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Morley. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this page.

On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your estate agent however this can only occur after the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over.

How can we tell if a Morley conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Morley seeking recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.

I am expecting a AIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Morley solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Morley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

How does conveyancing in Morley differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Morley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Morley typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Morley or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Morley is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Morley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Morley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Morley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Morley and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act gives security of tenure to business lessees, giving them the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Morley is one of our hundreds of areas of the UK in which our lawyers are located

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Morley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Morley Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Examples of Queries before Purchasing

    How much is the maintenance charge and ground rent on the property? Be sure to discover if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. By way of example it is fairly common in Morley leases that pets are not permitted in certain buildings in Morley. If you like the flatin Morley yet your dog is not allowed to live with you then you will be presented with a difficult determination.

Me and my husband are first time buyers just having agreed a price on a property in Morley, and are about to get solicitors appointed. We have used the numerous comparison based websites and the quotes are from all over the the UK. Is it essential to have a Morley conveyancing practitioner local to your potential house? We are fine to do everything electronically, but I guess at some stage we will need to attend the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign papers?

The conveyancer does not have to be in Morley, but choosing local means that you have the option to go in if needed, for instance, if a signature is needed urgently. Also, a Morley solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local solicitor) with them, which should help keep things moving faster.
