Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hammersmith

I can't travel far from Hammersmith. Can you please clarify why all Hammersmith property lawyers are not on all bank panels?

Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to mortgage companies purging less reputable firms from their official list of approved lawyers .

We are planning to move property in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Hammersmith. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this website.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the property agent however this should only happen once the vendors lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Hammersmith or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Hammersmith.

My lawyer has informed me that absentee landlord insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Hammersmith conveyancing?

The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Hammersmith conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. How long does it take for Aldermore to issue the offer to the solicitor?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore conducted the survey? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I am downsizing from our property in Hammersmith and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Hammersmith conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Hammersmith. We have lived in Hammersmith for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Hammersmith prior to appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to give a loan on this type of premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Hammersmith. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Hammersmith to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

My uncle has encouraged me to appoint his conveyancers in Hammersmith. Do I follow his guidance?

There are no two ways about it the best way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to get referrals from friends or relatives who have actually used the solicitor you're are thinking of instructing.

We are hoping to acquire a repossessed property in Hammersmith and the mortgagee in possession would like to complete within a month. Can a property lawyer complete in this timeframe? Am I best advised to instruct a high street Hammersmith firm or an online firm that advertises to offer speedy conveyancing?

Visit your Hammersmith high street. Go in to a couple of solicitor’s offices and request to see a conveyancing solicitor for an estimate. Set out your situation and get assurances on deadlines. Select the firm that comes across as most efficient. Be sure to choose a solicitor on the list of conveyancing practitioners approved by your lender.
