I am due to move home in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Eastwood. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent but this can only take place once the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Eastwood or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Eastwood.

Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Eastwood will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of changes or necessitated the permission of another owner. Some additions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

My wife and I are spending time viewing flats in Eastwood and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with RBS.

You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are taking out a mortgage with RBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

My partner and I are planning on selling our home in Eastwood and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Eastwood conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Eastwood. Having lived in Eastwood for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? 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 ailment)

I'm purchasing a new build house in Eastwood with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it will affect my mortgage with the bank. 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.
