I am planning to move property in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Needham Market. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this can only be done when the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Needham Market or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Needham Market.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nationwide are being pedantic. The Needham Market solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide 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.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Needham Market. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Needham Market solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

I am purchasing my first flat in Needham Market with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
