Please help. My Fairlop lawyer is advising me that he is legally obliged toorder Fairlop conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. Do I not have a choice here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Fairlop conveyancing searches.
I just acquired a house at auction in Fairlop. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Having exchanged you should find a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of priority as you are faced with a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the purchase. An auction property should have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You must hand this to the conveyancer working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Fairlop. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Fairlop?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Fairlop. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Fairlop. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I completed on my home on 1 June and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Fairlop expressed confidence that it would be dealt with inside ten days. Are titles in Fairlop particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Fairlop registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not typically primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Fairlop is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Fairlop are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Fairlop you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Fairlop may ascertain 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.
