Our solicitor has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Saltash. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender specifications have to be complied with.
I am planning to move property in October. 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 Saltash. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the property agent however this should only happen when the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Saltash or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Saltash.

I have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Saltash. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Skipton?
Your original mortgage agreement with Skipton will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel lawyer.
I am selling our house in Saltash and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Saltash lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Saltash. We have lived in Saltash for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
