Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Roehampton

The property market in Roehampton is heating up. What can be done to expedite the conveyancing process?

In a situation where you are under pressure for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will make use of local relationships and insight. It is possible that they could have handled otherhomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Roehampton conveyancing lawyer. In addition, ensure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Roehampton conveyancing deals are held up or derailed after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. This can often result in the home move being held up by as much as three weeks. It is claimed that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home sales annually. Most Roehampton conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Roehampton?

Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the mortgage company to see if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Roehampton.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, HSBC are being a right pain. The Roehampton solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Roehampton solicitor having checked that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Roehampton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Our offer on a property in Roehampton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Roehampton. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with UBS?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Roehampton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the UBS approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with UBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

I've found a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing. I have since found out that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are issues purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Roehampton. Conveyancing lawyers have are soon to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?

Most houses in Roehampton are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Roehampton in which case you should be shopping around for a Roehampton conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease will likely included provisions such as requiring the landlord’spermission to carry out changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a maintenance charge towards the maintenance of the estate where the property is located on an estate. Your lawyer will appraise you on the various issues.

I have had difficulty in seeking a lease extension in Roehampton. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Roehampton conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Roehampton premises is 19 St. Margarets Crescent in August 2010. the tribunal was of the view that the premium to be paid by the leaseholder for the freehold reversion was £51,983.00 This case affected 3 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 66.25 years.

I acquired a flat in Roehampton last 4/1/2024 and to date it is still not registered with the Land Registry. It was part of a development site and my conveyancing practitioner told me that it can take one year to register. I have contacted HMLR directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. What can I do?
