Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Carshalton

It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Carshalton. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down the title deeds. Will this cause complications?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Carshalton relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Carshalton?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

My lawyer has informed me that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Carshalton conveyancing?

The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

My wife and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from RBS as we want to carry out improvements to our home in Carshalton. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Carshalton solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

RBS would not normally require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS list.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Carshalton. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

I am buying a house and the lawyer has raised the issue of Chancel Repair to which the house could be liable given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this strictly necessary for conveyancing in Carshalton
