Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Finsbury

Can you help? My Finsbury lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toorder Finsbury conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Finsbury conveyancing searches.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Co-operative, do Finsbury property lawyers face a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

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

About to purchase house in Finsbury. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Finsbury property lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

I have finally had an offer on a flat in Finsbury accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Finsbury. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale started?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Finsbury conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers would apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

Me and my brother have a semi-detached Georgian property in Finsbury. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Finsbury and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Finsbury is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Finsbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Finsbury 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 Finsbury 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.

We are four weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Finsbury. I am am starting to be frustrated with the quality of service. Could you help me find new conveyancers?

A solicitor would need to be very poor in order to consider diss instructing them. Has your mortgage been issued? If so you will need to advise them of the new solicitor and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your new conveyancer should be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental fees and delays. That should be your starting point.

Been reading online that Finsbury solicitors are more expensive than Finsbury conveyancers in Finsbury to use when purchasing a property. So is it better if I use a conveyancer or a solicitor if I am purchasing a house in Finsbury.

When it comes to conveyancing in Finsbury the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
