We are due to move house in February. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Kew. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent however this can only be done after the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. You can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Kew or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Kew.
I am the only recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Kew. The Kew property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this provision primarily exists to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Kew. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Kew concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 residence 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.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Kew. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Kew who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First contact the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Kew conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
After months of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Kew. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Kew premises is Flat 1 30 Ennismore Avenue in September 2010. the Tribunal adopted and arrived at a premium for the lease extension of £29, 900 This case related to 1 flat.
