I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Millwall. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am due to move property in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Millwall. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across your site.

On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your selling agent however this can only happen when the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Millwall or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Millwall.

Can you help - my lawyer advises that restrictive coveneant insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Millwall?

The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Millwall lawyer on the UBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

but are not moving to another property
where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your UBS mortgage has been paid off.

Will my conveyancer be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Millwall.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Millwall. There are those who acquire a house in Millwall, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Millwall. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect response. The purchaser’s lawyers will also conduct an environmental search. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be conducted.

How does conveyancing in Millwall differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Millwall contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Millwall typically purchase the site, 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Millwall or who has acted in the same development.
