Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mayfair

I can't travel far from Mayfair. I would like to know the understand why all Mayfair conveyancers aren't automatically on all lender panels?

Lenders normally impose restrictions on either the nature or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that the practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some banks such as HSBC made a decision to restrict the number of firms they permit to act for them. You should note that mortgage companies have no accountability for the quality of conveyancing provided by any Mayfair lawyer on their panel. Property fraud was the primary trigger for the rationalisation of solicitor panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are opposing thoughts about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data via HMLR indicates that thousands of law practices only carry out one or two conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel culls question why conveyancing firms should have any entitlement to be listed on a conveyancing panel when it is evident that conveyancing is not their speciality?

Completed the sale of my flat in Mayfair last September but our buyer keeps SMS messaging daily to say his conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

Post completion of your disposal your conveyancer should forward the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor must also evidence that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers conveyancers.

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Mayfair what would it be?

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Mayfair conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

We are planning to move home in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Mayfair. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your website.

On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent however this can only happen when the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in.

When it comes to lenders such as Principality, do Mayfair property lawyers face a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that could affect a commercial property in Mayfair?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Mayfair will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Mayfair. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Mayfair.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Mayfair it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could cause delays to Mayfair commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Mayfair.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Mayfair ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders may not give a mortgage on such a home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Halifax. If you call us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Mayfair. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Mayfair

It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Mayfair conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
