  • 3 No matter what any alternative lawyers advise it just might be important to pop into your lawyer to sign documents. There are enough parties engaged in a homemove without having to add Royal Mail into the mix.
  • 4 Pimlico conveyancers are likely to have connections at the local Land Registry Office, Local Authority and selling agents

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Pimlico

I am in the market for a low cost property lawyer. Do I opt for a national conveyancer as opposed to a family Pimlico conveyancing lawyer?

Existing third party relationships are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Pimlico law firms benefit from long term relationships with financial advisers and agents, local authorities, surveyors and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Possessing vast insight into the local area also helps too.

We are looking to buy a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Pimlico who is on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

Will commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that may affect a commercial land in Pimlico?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Pimlico will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Pimlico. 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 Pimlico.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Pimlico it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could result in delays to Pimlico commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not carried out for domestic conveyancing in Pimlico.

I bought my flat on 3 March and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Pimlico said it should be registered in less than a month. Are titles in Pimlico uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Pimlico is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I'm buying my first flat in Pimlico benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it could jeopardize my loan with Barnsley Building Society. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Pimlico in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders may not give a loan on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. If you call us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Pimlico. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Pimlico especially if they are familiar with such properties in Pimlico.
