We are aiming to move home in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Soho. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent however this can only happen once the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Soho or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Soho.
I'm in the throws of looking at flats in Soho and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Lloyds.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Soho. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I require quick conveyancing in Soho as I am faced with an ultimatum to exchange contracts within one month. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Soho took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
My cousin has encouraged me to use his conveyancers in Soho. Do I follow his recommendation?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Soho conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the firm that you are considering.
I am hoping to sign contracts shortly on a ground floor flat in Soho. Conveyancing solicitors have said that they will have a report out to me next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to purchase the freehold in Soho. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the price payable.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Soho premises is 20 Avonwick Road in July 2013. The Tribunal was dealing with an application under Section 26 of the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 for a determination of the freehold value of the property. It was concluded that the price to be paid was Fifteen Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy (£15,970) divided as to £8,200 for Flat 20 and £7,770 for Flat 20A This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 73.26 years.
