I am planning to move house in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Poundbury. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your website.

On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this should only occur after the sellers solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. After that you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Poundbury or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Poundbury.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Poundbury. 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 take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. 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 Poundbury lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

UBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a house in Poundbury has been accepted, now what?

The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact UBS or the broker and finalise any outstanding forms. UBS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to arrange a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. UBS will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Poundbury.

I have recentlybecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Poundbury for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out 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 Poundbury conveyancing specialists.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Poundbury is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Poundbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Poundbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Poundbury may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
