I am due to move property in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Boscastle. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this website.

On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent but this can only happen after the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Boscastle or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Boscastle.

I am being advised by my solicitor that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Boscastle?

The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Boscastle conveyancing practitioners were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from RBS?

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

I have recentlyfound out that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Boscastle for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Boscastle.Conveyancing has not commenced but I have just had a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as normal as all rents and service invoices should be allottedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
