Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aldborough Hatch

I am nearing exchange of contracts for my apartment in Aldborough Hatch and the estate agent has just e-mailed to say that the purchasers are appointing a new solicitor. The excuse is that the lender will only work with property lawyers on their approved list. Why would a big named mortgage company only deal with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to choose for their conveyancing in Aldborough Hatch ?

Mortgage companies have always had an approved set of law firms that can act for them, but in recent years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for many years.

Lenders justify this action to a rise in fraud by way of justification for the reduction – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. Banks tend not to disclose how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Some do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The buyers are not going to have any sway in the decision.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Aldborough Hatch? Is this really necessary?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign should confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you are unwilling to supply identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Aldborough Hatch. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Aldborough Hatch
