Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tolworth

I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I would like to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Tolworth. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Virgin Money Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Tolworth?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Tolworth. Will the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to see to?

After the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates was maintained a mandatory element of selling a property. An EPC should be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Tolworth conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established local assessors

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Tolworth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Some lenders would take a sensible view as this obligation principally exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

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

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

I have been told that property searches are a common cause of hinderance in Tolworth conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Tolworth.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Tolworth is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Tolworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Tolworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tolworth may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I am 14 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Tolworth. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

A conveyancer would need to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new contact details and get the offer are re-sent. Your solicitor ideally should be on the banks approved list to avoid added expenses and complications. So that should be your starting point.
