We are due to move house in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in West Byfleet. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent however this should only be done after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in West Byfleet or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in West Byfleet.
When it comes to lenders such as Yorkshire BS, do West Byfleet conveyancers incur a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in West Byfleet agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in West Byfleet. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, West Byfleet conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in West Byfleet.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. West Byfleet is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in West Byfleet are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside West Byfleet you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in West Byfleet may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
