I am planning to move home in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Elland. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent however this can only take place when the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. You can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Elland or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Elland.
I am purchasing a property in Elland. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Co-operative be concerned?
As your lender is Co-operative your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Co-operative where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Elland.
I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Elland solicitor - who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore 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 conveyancing practitioner 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 Elland postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Elland.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Elland I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Elland for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years 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 existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
