I am aiming to move property in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in New Brighton. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this should only occur when the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in New Brighton or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in New Brighton.
It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my New Brighton bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My New Brighton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Intending to buy a house in New Brighton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

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 New Brighton property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in New Brighton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in New Brighton come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in New Brighton tend to acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in New Brighton or who has acted in the same development.
