I am aiming to move house in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Bloxham. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your website.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent however this can only occur when the sellers solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You will need to advise 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 locate a residential property solicitor in Bloxham or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Bloxham.

I have been advised by my lawyer that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Bloxham?

The appropriate level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Bloxham conveyancing practitioners are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Bank of Ireland?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland conducted the valuation? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I'm buying a new build house in Bloxham with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Bloxham I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease.

If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
