Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hackney

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Hackney is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her work?

That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Hackney conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Me and my partner are soon to exchange buying a house in Hackney but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Bank of Ireland are not allowing this. Why were they informed?

Any solicitor that is on a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Bank of Ireland of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the price change to Bank of Ireland then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Bank of Ireland and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Hackney.

What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Hackney

It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Hackney conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Hackney property lawyer on the UBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your UBS mortgage has been paid off.

Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Hackney solicitor - who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Hackney surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Hackney. I happened to chance upon a site which seems to have the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via phone that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Do I need to have a meeting at the offices of the lender conveyancing panel solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Hackney as it will be easier to pop in to their offices if necessary.

As opposed to 15 years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to provide ID Documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Hackney.
