Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lower Clapton

Can the conveyancing solicitors that you recommend carry out conveyancing in Lower Clapton by way of an attended exchange?

We do have a number of conveyancing specialists carrying out personalised exchanges. Do call us to get a costs illustration and details as to dates.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a Lower Clapton based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you take up the "fee-free" deal. Contact the lender to see if they allow a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Lower Clapton.

This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Lower Clapton. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Lower Clapton?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Lower Clapton. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

I am aiming to move property in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Lower Clapton. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across your site.

On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent but this should only be done when the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Lower Clapton or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Lower Clapton.

I am purchasing a property in Lower Clapton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Barclays have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Barclays your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Lower Clapton.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Lower Clapton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lower Clapton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Lower Clapton

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Lower Clapton conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
