We are aiming to move property in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Killamarsh. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.

On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent however this should only take place once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Killamarsh or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Killamarsh.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Killamarsh conveyancing solicitors have been instructed. How long does it take for RBS to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS conducted the survey? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Killamarsh solicitor on the Coventry BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I used Stirling Law several years ago for my conveyancing in Killamarsh. Now, I need my documents however the law firm has closed. What do I do?

You should call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracing your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555.

I am buying a new build apartment in Killamarsh. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Killamarsh

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Killamarsh I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Killamarsh suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Am I better off to appoint a Killamarsh conveyancing practitioner based in the area that I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can execute the conveyancing however her office is a couple of hundredmiles away.

The primary upside of using a local Killamarsh conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that should outweigh using an unknown Killamarsh conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
