As a FTB what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Clapton?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Clapton or throughout London is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Clapton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

We are witnessing a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. You should always trust your solicitor above all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the primary reason for obstruction in Clapton house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Clapton.

I used Wolstenholmes a few years ago for my conveyancing in Clapton. Now, I need my files however the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

You should contact 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 Clapton of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, 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 house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Clapton is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Clapton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Clapton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clapton 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 premises.
