Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Rusholm so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.

Most approved lawyers for mortgage companies carry out their communications via the post, e-mail or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the legal work for your home move no matter where you live in the country. However you can see if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if needed.

We are planning to move home in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Rusholm. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this page.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only happen after the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected.

We do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Rusholm or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Rusholm.

When it comes to conveyancing in Rusholm obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.

I have paid off my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Rusholm lawyer on the Leeds Building Society panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, 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 Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Last March I purchased a leasehold house in Rusholm. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, 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).

We are hoping to buy a four bedroom flatin Rusholm with a residential mortgage from a bank. We would like to retain our conveyancer in Rusholm yet our lender says he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our bank panel firms or keep our Rusholm conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Rusholm lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The bank home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Rusholm : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
