I am due to move home in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Pontefract. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only take place after the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. You will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Pontefract or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Pontefract.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Pontefract conveyancing solicitors are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Virgin Money?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Virgin Money conducted the valuation? Have you advised Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Pontefract. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £225. Soon after, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Victorian property in Pontefract. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Santander. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Santander to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Pontefract and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I am purchasing a new build house in Pontefract benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it will put at risk my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
