Recently asked questions about conveyancing in High Holborn

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in High Holborn? What am I being asked for?

It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in High Holborn. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing process in the absence providing proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a bank statement. Please note that if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it needs to be both the paper section and photo card part, one is not satisfactory in the absence of the other.

Proof of the source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancing solicitor will need to retain this information on file. Your High Holborn conveyancing practitioner will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any money from you into their client account and they may also ask additional queries regarding the source of monies.

I am considering applying for a Santander mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in High Holborn with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Santander ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Santander will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

How does conveyancing in High Holborn differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in High Holborn come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in High Holborn tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in High Holborn or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in High Holborn I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in High Holborn in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

How do I use the search app to select a conveyancing practitioner in High Holborn on the panel for my lender?

1st pick a mortgage company such as Lloyds TSB Bank, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society or Clydesdale then specify your preferred area a common one being High Holborn. Conveyancing firms in High Holborn and beyond will then be identified.

I'm buying a property in High Holborn. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my lawyer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?

Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
