Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Stechford. My lender is The Mortgage Works
The Mortgage Works have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 24/9/2025, the requirements read as follows :
We are due to move property in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Stechford. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the property agent but this should only be done once the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Stechford or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Stechford.
Can you point me to a directory of Nationwide panel solicitors in Stechford on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings open the public on the web. Where you are in need of a Stechford property lawyer on the Nationwide please make the most of our facility.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Co-operative as we want to conduct renovations to our house in Stechford. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Stechford solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Co-operative do not ordinarily instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative panel.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Stechford completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 property 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.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Stechford I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Stechford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
