This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Pimlico. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Pimlico?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We are planning to move home in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Pimlico. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the property agent however this can only occur after the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Pimlico or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Pimlico.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, RBS are being problematic. The Pimlico solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial site in Pimlico?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Pimlico will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Pimlico. The report sets out 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 Pimlico.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Pimlico it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Pimlico.
I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Pimlico. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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.
