Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chiswick

My solicitor has discovered a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Chiswick. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I am buying a garden flat in Chiswick. Can I do my own conveyancing?

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

I'm buying a new build house in Chiswick benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with Leeds Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Taking into account that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a two bedroom apartment in Chiswick I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thehouse move ahead of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer who will be doing your conveyancing in Chiswick.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a case reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Chiswick should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Chiswick

We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Chiswick conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.

Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Chiswick. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we are being charged an extortionate amount from the landlord. So far we have forked out £268 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £134.40 for answers to queries raised by the buyers property lawyer.

Your property lawyer will not have any control over the extent of the charges for this information but the typical costs for the information for Chiswick leasehold property is £350. For Chiswick conveyancing sales it is conventional for the owner to cover the costs. The landlord or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions although many will agree to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices out of proportion to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires capped charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time limit by which they are required to supply the information.
