We are aiming to move home in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Fairlop. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your site.

On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your property agent but this should only take place when the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Fairlop or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Fairlop.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Fairlop. The Fairlop property was put into my name in November. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Fairlop conveyancing solicitors have been selected. How long does it take for Clydesdale to send the offer to the conveyancer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale completed the survey? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I was pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Fairlop to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your site over another?

We don’t give any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My father-in-law has encouraged me to appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Fairlop. Should I find my own conveyancer?

No doubt the ideal way to choose a conveyancing solicitor is to have guidance from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the firm that you are considering.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Fairlop where we have experienced a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Fairlop conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?

As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

Despite our best endeavours, we have been unsuccessful in trying to purchase the freehold in Fairlop. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
