We are due to move home in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Homerton. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent however this can only happen after the vendors solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You will need to advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Homerton or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Homerton.
My solicitor has informed me that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Homerton conveyancing?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
Is there a list of Principality panel conveyancers in Homerton on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of hinderance in Homerton conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Homerton.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Homerton I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Homerton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to 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 concerning this.
I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Homerton. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
Having spent years of dialogue we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Homerton. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
in cases where there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to decide the sum to be paid.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Homerton property is 104 Nightingale Road in May 2009. The Tribunal's Decision is that the premium torbe paid for the enfranchisement in this case is £112,174 This case was in relation to 10 flats. The unexpired term was 71.25 years.
