Two types of professional can carry out conveyancing in Whetstone namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors.

I am due to move house in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Whetstone. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the property agent however this should only occur once the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Whetstone or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Whetstone.
Is it the case that all Whetstone solicitor practices on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be overseen by the CLC.
I purchased a terraced Victorian property in Whetstone. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Aldermore. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Whetstone and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
I am buying my first flat in Whetstone with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. 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.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Whetstone before retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am disposing of a property in Newport but reside in Whetstone. My lawyer (who is 260 kilometers from merequires that I sign a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Whetstone to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
