Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gipsy Hill

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Gipsy Hill for our house move. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

Before the recession most banks had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Gipsy Hill conveyancing firms would have been on most bank panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more information from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of transactions. Many Gipsy Hill conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Gipsy Hill is amongst the many locations where the solicitors we list are are approved Coventry Building Society.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Gipsy Hill. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Gipsy Hill is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Gipsy Hill accepted, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Gipsy Hill. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Nationwide started?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Gipsy Hill conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Nationwide approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Gipsy Hill is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

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