I am aiming to move home in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Soho. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your site.

You can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Soho or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Soho.
I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Soho. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is primarily there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Can I be sure that the Soho conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?

We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.

The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the property has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect reply. A buyer’s conveyancers should also order an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Soho?
