I am planning to move home in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Woolwich. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent but this should only happen when the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Woolwich or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Woolwich.
About to purchase flat in Woolwich. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Woolwich conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
My offer on a property in Woolwich has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Woolwich. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Barclays going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Woolwich conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with searches.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that may impact a commercial premises in Woolwich?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Woolwich will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Woolwich. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Woolwich.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Woolwich it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Woolwich.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Woolwich is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Woolwich are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Woolwich you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woolwich may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Woolwich both have in the region of forty five years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
My wife and I have hit a brick wall in seeking a lease extension in Woolwich. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
if there is a missing freeholder or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to calculate the price.

On 11 September 2013 Deputy District Judge Price sitting at the Bow County Court made a vesting order that the freeholder surrender his lease and be granted a new lease of the Premises on such terms as may be determined by the First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber).The appropriate sum as concluded by the Tribunal was £7225 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 69.77 years.
