We are aiming to move home in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Nailsworth. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent but this should only be done once the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Nailsworth or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Nailsworth.

Will our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Nailsworth.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Nailsworth. Some people will buy a property in Nailsworth, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Nailsworth. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages stemming from an misleading reply. The purchaser’s lawyers will also commission an enviro search. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.

Back In 2009, I bought a leasehold flat in Nailsworth. Conveyancing and HSBC Bank mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Nailsworth who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
First contact HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder.
