How up to date is your search tool for Rawcliffe conveyancing solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? Do Lloyds send you an updated list?

We are due to move house in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Rawcliffe. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your estate agent but this can only occur once the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Rawcliffe or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Rawcliffe.
Is it the case that all Rawcliffe solicitor firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Rawcliffe bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Rawcliffe conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, they must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

What are your top tips when it comes to choosing a Rawcliffe conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Rawcliffe conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you talk with several firms including non Rawcliffe conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be helpful:
-
How experienced is the firm with lease extension legislation? Can they put you in touch with clients in Rawcliffe who can give a testimonial?

-
How much is the ground rent and service charge? Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability? The majority of Rawcliffe leasehold flats will be liable to pay a service charge for the upkeep of the building invoiced by the landlord. If you acquire the apartment you will have to pay this liability, normally quarterly during the year. This can differ from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal areas. In all probability there will be a rentcharge to be met annual, normally this is not a significant sum, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to check it because sometimes it can be surprisingly expensive.
