It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Campden Hill. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they may still be with the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Campden Hill relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Campden Hill on the HSBC solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional sum for handling the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by HSBC?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by HSBC but by your Campden Hill conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the HSBC panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
