Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stansted

After what seems like an age a mortgage offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 4 room flat is expected within the next few days. Can you propose a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Stansted?

This site is not designed to aid those in their quest for the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Stansted. We can offer you excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by companies enticing you with £100 conveyancing in Stansted.

Is it the case that all Stansted solicitor practices on the RBS conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Stansted bank branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Stansted conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Stansted solicitor having made sure that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton 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. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Stansted postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Stansted.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Stansted. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Stansted - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
