Recently asked questions about conveyancing in North London

We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in North London found by you but stumbled across alternative estimates via the web look less expensive – why is this?

I am purchasing a house for cash in North London. I have lived for the previous dozen years in North London. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the North London conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house in the future, it will be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. On occasion houses with day to day issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in North London will be able to give you some practical advice in this regard.

It is a dozen years since I bought my property in North London. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Will this cause complications?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in North London relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a searchable register to to identify law firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in North London?

We have not been informed any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.

Is it correct that all North London CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel?

It is true that some banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.

We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from HSBC as we want to carry out improvements to our house in North London. Do we need to choose a high street North London solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

HSBC do not ordinarily appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC panel.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in North London is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in North London I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in North London for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
