I am aiming to move home in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Campden Hill. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your site.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the estate agent but this can only occur once the vendors solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Campden Hill or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Campden Hill.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Leeds Building Society, do Campden Hill property lawyers incur a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Campden Hill. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Campden Hill took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Campden Hill. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure 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).
