We are due to move home in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Windlesham. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your selling agent however this can only be done when the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. After that 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 particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Windlesham or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Windlesham.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Windlesham. I have a mortgage offer with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use 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 Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Windlesham bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Windlesham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your solicitor has to follow the CML Handbook section two specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Windlesham completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Windlesham being more expensive?
Acquiring a brand new property is completely different from the standard house purchase conveyancing in Windlesham. Firstly housebuilders ordinarily insist contracts to exchange within a tight deadline, the result being a a great deal of pressure on your lawyer to make sure everything is in order. Furthermore new build premises often necessitate the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Mortgage company obligations are also more detailed. Taking into account the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
