We are aiming to move house in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Rocester. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this website.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent but this should only happen after the vendors solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Rocester or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Rocester.

Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Rocester solicitor - who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC 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 Rocester postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Rocester.

We are buying a property and the solicitor has referenced Chancel Repair for which the house may be obligated to contribute to given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has suggested insurance. Is this really appropriate for conveyancing in Rocester

Unless a previous acquisition of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you can expect lawyers handling conveyancing in Rocester to continue to recommend a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Rocester. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Rocester - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

What is the the remaining lease term? Who are the managing agents? The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this situation the lessees benefit from control and even though a managing agent is often employed if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
