We were just about to exchange contracts for a semi detached house in Upton Park. We have hit a snag. Our mortgage offer with National Westminster Bank runs out on 30/5/2023 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 1/6/2023. Can one prolong the mortgage expiry date?

The best person to deal with your question is your solicitors who will determine if they should be discussing with the lender, seller’s representatives, selling agents or possibly all three taking into account what has gone on in your transaction as of today.

I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Upton Park for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Upton Park conveyancing specialists.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Upton Park I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Upton Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Upton Park. I've chance upon a site which appears to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all this stuff done via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

My 20yr old son is about to join the property ladder, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. One the seller agreed the offer on the flat we contacted the bank to go forward with his. We were very surprised to learn that mortgage companies do not accept all conveyancer, they need to be on their approved list, is this right?

Lenders tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Upton Park lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
