I am due to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Walthamstow. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent however this should only occur once the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Walthamstow or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Walthamstow.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Walthamstow. I have a mortgage agreed with Nottingham. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Walthamstow. 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 Kent Reliance 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 Walthamstow conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Walthamstow with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with Nottingham Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
