Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Farringdon

We have very brash sellers who has insisted on a preliminary agreement with a down payment two thousand pounds. Are such contracts generally advanced for Farringdon conveyancing transactions?

There are two primary drawbacks with executing a lock out agreement (occasionally referred to as a no-shop agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Farringdon conveyancing lawyers as a result. A further concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is not likely to secure an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the seller disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in limited situations, the extra payment of penalties.

Do I have to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Farringdon so that I can attend their offices if necessary.

Most conveyancing panel lawyers for banks undertake all of the work via Royal Mail, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in England or Wales. That being said you should check if you have the option of attending the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if just in case this is required.

A colleague recommended that where I am purchasing in Farringdon I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is occasionally included in the estimate for your Farringdon conveyancing searches. It is a large document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Farringdon around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Farringdon Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Farringdon Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Farringdon.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Farringdon completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Farringdon I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Farringdon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we use their recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Farringdon

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Farringdon conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will earn the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
