Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Haggerston

My friend's uncle is a solicitor. I am hopeful that I'll be able to get mate’s rates for conveyancing, but if not, what level of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Haggerston?

Our nephew is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Haggerston with a home loan from Aldermore. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?

The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Haggerston for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank National Westminster Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

A decade ago most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Haggerston conveyancing firms would have been on most lender panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more information from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of transactions. Many Haggerston conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Haggerston is one of the thousands of areas where the solicitors showing on our search results are are authorised to act for National Westminster Bank.

There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in Haggerston but what is your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Haggerston

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Haggerston conveyancing costs illustration. 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 am helping my aunt sell her flat in Haggerston. Does the conveyancer order an energy assessment or should I organise this?

Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s remained a required part of moving house. An EPC should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not something that solicitors normally arrange. Where you are using a Haggerston conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with reputable local providers

We previously appointed solicitors with offices in Haggerston on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional charge for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Haggerston conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Haggerston I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Haggerston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Hoping to buy a property located in Haggerston and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Haggerston. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Haggerston area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
