Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Wickford?

If you are buying a property in Wickford your lawyer will request that you to provide them with monies to cover the search fees. Normally this is asked for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is as part of the purchase price then this will be asked for shortly prior to exchange of contracts.

I am due to move home in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Wickford. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your website.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the estate agent but this can only happen once the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being difficult. The Wickford solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Wickford lawyer having checked that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Wickford postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Wickford.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Wickford?

An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
