Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Newent

I am planning to move house in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Newent. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this website.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your selling agent however this should only be done once the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Newent or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Newent.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as TSB, do Newent conveyancing practitioners have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Aldermore are being problematic. The Newent solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore 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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Newent. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?

It best that you pay the invoice as usual because all rents and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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.

You have 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations.

How does one as executor remove a departed person's details from the title register for a house in Newent?

Where a Newent property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal your conveyancer would just be asked to evidence as to the reason the other owner is missing from the conveyance, normally this takes the form of a grant of probate.

With the aim of making the sale conveyancing more straight forward in the future you can arrange to have the deceased name removed from the title register by applying to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
