I am planning to move house in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Newhaven. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the estate agent however this should only occur when the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Newhaven or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Newhaven.
Can you point me to a directory of Principality panel solicitors in Newhaven on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings open the public on the web. If you are seeking to appoint a Newhaven conveyancer on the Principality please make the most of our facility.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Newhaven agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Newhaven. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Newhaven conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.

I have recentlybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Newhaven for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Newhaven conveyancing specialists.
I am buying a new build house in Newhaven with a loan from HSBC Bank. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. 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 CML website. CML 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.
