My husband and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Bank of Ireland as we wish to carry out renovations to our property in North Acton. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar North Acton solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Bank of Ireland don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. North Acton conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. How long does it take for RBS to send the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS completed the survey? Have you informed RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
My wife and I are at the point of looking at apartments in North Acton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in North Acton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in North Acton. We have lived in North Acton for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. North Acton is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in North Acton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in North Acton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in North Acton 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 residence.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in North Acton and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act gives protection to business leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. North Acton is one of our numerous areas of the UK in which the firms we work with have offices
I am a fortnight into a leasehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the local agent to do our conveyancing in North Acton. We are not happy. Can you help me find new conveyancers?
A lawyer would need to be really bad in order to consider replacing them. Has your loan offer been issued? If so you will need to inform them of the replacement lawyer and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally should be on the banks approved list to avoid added fees and complications. So that should be your starting point.
