I am planning to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in White City. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent but this should only happen once the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in White City or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in White City.

Have completed on a a terraced house in White City , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My White City conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the post completion formalities are addressed.

As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in White City I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in White City suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
