We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a Plaistow based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel lawyers where you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the lender and check if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Plaistow.
We are buying a property in Plaistow. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we will need to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I have been advised by my solicitor that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Plaistow?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
How can we know in advance if a Plaistow conveyancing solicitor on the Principality panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Plaistow getting 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. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.
three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Plaistow completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Plaistow differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Plaistow contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Plaistow usually acquire 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 property lawyers 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 Plaistow or who has acted in the same development.
What does commercial conveyancing in Plaistow cover?
Non domestic conveyancing in Plaistow incorporates a wide range of guidance, supplied by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises.

Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of leases.
My folks are encountering difficulties in finding their Plaistow land registry title on the website. They recall that back in the 60’s when they acquired the house there were complications with the post code not being identified on some systems.
Almost all properties in Plaistow should be revealed. Have you tried a search with just the postcode. Usually it will reveal all the residences within that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s bank.
