Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in East Ham. My lender is The Mortgage Works
The Mortgage Works have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 16/10/2026, the requirements read as follows :
We are due to move house in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in East Ham. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the selling agent however this should only occur when the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in East Ham or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in East Ham.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in East Ham off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Co-operative. Conveyancing is new to me. 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 Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Aldermore. Is it usual for Aldermore to only issue the offer once my solicitor in East Ham is approved on their conveyancing panel? Aldermore have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in East Ham for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of East Ham conveyancing specialists.

I am a couple of weeks into a leasehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the selling agent to execute conveyancing in East Ham. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
They would need to be really poor in order to consider diss instructing them. Has your mortgage offer been issued?

I would like to rent out my leasehold flat in East Ham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Even though your last East Ham conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you must obtain consent from your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
After years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in East Ham. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to arrive at the price.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a East Ham property is 46 Credon Road in January 2014. On 11 September 2013 Deputy District Judge Price sitting at the Bow County Court made a vesting order that the freeholder surrender his lease and be granted a new lease of the Premises on such terms as may be determined by the First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber).The appropriate sum as concluded by the Tribunal was £7225 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 69.77 years.
