I am due to move home in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Waterloo. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this can only be done after the sellers solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Waterloo or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Waterloo.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Waterloo off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Skipton. 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 Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Waterloo
-
Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
