When it comes to conveyancing in Moorends seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Moorends property lawyer on the HSBC panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your HSBC 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 HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, 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 HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Moorends. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I completed on my house on 11 September and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Moorends advises it should be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Moorends uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Moorends registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Moorends differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Moorends come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Moorends usually buy 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 Moorends or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Moorends is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Moorends are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Moorends you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Moorends may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
