We are due to move home in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Queensferry. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent but this can only occur once the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Queensferry or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Queensferry.
I have been advised by my conveyancer that chancel insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Queensferry?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Virgin Money. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Queensferry. I have a mortgage agreed with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Queensferry and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Queensferry lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Queensferry. We have lived in Queensferry for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have a terraced Victorian property in Queensferry. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Queensferry and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
