We are aiming to move home in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in St Pancras. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your website.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only occur after the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in St Pancras or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in St Pancras.

My partner and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from TSB as we want to carry out alterations to our home in St Pancras. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar St Pancras solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

TSB don't usually instruct firms on 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 TSB panel.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. St Pancras conveyancing practitioners were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Skipton?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Skipton completed the survey? Have you advised Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in St Pancras for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of St Pancras conveyancing specialists.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in St Pancras. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

I decided to have a survey done on a house in St Pancras ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a loan on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you e-mail us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in St Pancras. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in St Pancras especially if they are acquainted with such properties in St Pancras.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in St Pancras.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as normal as all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportionedon completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
