Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barnsbury

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Barnsbury. Is there a reason why all Barnsbury conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?

Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or lawyer’s standpoint, the the contrary view is that lenders are becoming ever more anxious and regard it essential to protect them from illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies are limiting their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.

What is the best way to find out if the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Barnsbury is on the bank’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Lloyds TSB Bank thus spending £175.00 in additional legal charges.

There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Barnsbury but how do I know who I should use?

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Barnsbury conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

We previously appointed solicitors located in Barnsbury on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further charge for handling the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nottingham?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nottingham but by your Barnsbury lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.

My wife and I are in the throws of viewing flats in Barnsbury and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Nottingham.

It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Barnsbury I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Barnsbury for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I am looking to sell my home. My previous solicitors have shut. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Barnsbury if that makes a difference.

You should use our search tool to help you choose a solicitor for your conveyancing in Barnsbury. We have connected thousands of home buyers and sellers with regulated solicitors to ensure that the legalities of their house move runs with a minimum of fuss.

Why can I not complete my conveyancing in Barnsbury on Easter Monday?

Because on completion the sale price will pass between the banks of the purchaser and seller's conveyancing practitioner and currently this can only happen on a working day. So you can't complete on a saturday or sunday either.
