We are due to move house in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Pitsea. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent however this can only be done once the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Pitsea or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Pitsea.
I have been advised by my lawyer that lack of building regulations insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Pitsea?
The appropriate level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Pitsea conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Pitsea surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
A friend advised me that where I am purchasing in Pitsea I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Pitsea took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

My husband and I are hoping to buy a three bedroom ground floor flatin Pitsea with a home loan from a mortgage company. We have a lawyer in Pitsea yet our bank says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our bank panel firms or stay with our Pitsea solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Pitsea lawyer?
No, not really. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Pitsea : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
