We are planning to move home in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Shooter's Hill. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the property agent however this can only take place when the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. After that you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Shooter's Hill or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Shooter's Hill.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Shooter's Hill. I have a mortgage offer with Barclays. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Shooter's Hill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Shooter's Hill. Having lived in Shooter's Hill for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Shooter's Hill took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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.
How does conveyancing in Shooter's Hill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Shooter's Hill approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Shooter's Hill usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Shooter's Hill or who has acted in the same development.
