Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dagenham

I am considering remortgaging my home in Dagenham, does my lawyer have to be on the Co-operative Solicitor panel?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Co-operative will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

I am aiming to move property in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Dagenham. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this website.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your selling agent however this should only happen when the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Dagenham or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Dagenham.

Can you help - my lawyer says that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Dagenham conveyancing?

The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

When it comes to lenders such as Kent Reliance, do Dagenham conveyancers incur an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

Have purchased a a detached house in Dagenham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Dagenham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my purchase is recorded.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Dagenham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I'm buying my first flat in Dagenham with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. 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.
