We are planning to move property in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Toton. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent however this should only happen when the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. After that you will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Toton or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Toton.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Toton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Toton conveyancing practitioner is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I've digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Toton solicitor - who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Toton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
What does a local search tell me concerning the property we're purchasing in Toton?
Toton conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for instance PSG The local search plays a central role in many a Toton conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your property. The search will supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic sections.
