I am aiming to move house in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Roker. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across this site.

After that you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Roker or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Roker.
I'm the only recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Roker. The Roker property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, RBS are being difficult. The Roker solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Roker 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title deeds to prove you own the land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
How does conveyancing in Roker differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Roker contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Roker tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Roker or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Roker I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Roker suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
