We are planning to move home in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Eltham. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your property agent but this should only happen when the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. After that you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Eltham or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Eltham.
Is it the case that all Eltham solicitor practices on the Principality conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Principality conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Many banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I'm at the point of viewing apartments in Eltham and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with HSBC.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are a common cause of hinderance in Eltham house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Eltham.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Eltham is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Eltham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Eltham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Eltham may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Taking into account that I am about to spend over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Eltham I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thetransaction in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Eltham.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Eltham should be the figure that you end up paying.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am disposing of a property in Monmouth but I am based in Eltham. My solicitor (approximately 235 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Eltham who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Eltham
