Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chiswick

Finally, a mortgage agreement from Nationwide for the remortgage of my single bedroom maisonette is due imminently. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing law firm in Chiswick?

You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the cheapest conveyancing in Chiswick. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be seduced by companies offering the bait of £100 conveyancing in Chiswick. Optimistically, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you paying a lot in additional fees and still not end up with the service expected.

We are selling our home in Chiswick. Does my property lawyer need to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.

I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Chiswick. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal investigations on the property include checks to ascertain if these works are prohibited?

Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Chiswick will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain alterations or need the consent of a 3rd party. Some additions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Chiswick is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Chiswick accepted, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Chiswick. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Chiswick conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to press on with searches.

I used Action Conveyancing a few years ago for my conveyancing in Chiswick. I now require my papers but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

Do call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Chiswick of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously retained, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Chiswick is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Chiswick are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Chiswick you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chiswick may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Am I best advised to choose a Chiswick conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? An old friend can execute the legal work however they are based approximately 350kilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Chiswick conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and they were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Chiswick conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
