I was notified recently by my lender that my Victoria Park property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I check?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Victoria Park conveyancer. You lawyer should advise you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Victoria Park conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Victoria Park. My lender is Virgin
Virgin have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 13/6/2025, the requirements read as follows :
I am buying a house and the conveyancer has identified Chancel Repair to which the house could be liable given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has suggested insurance. Is this really warranted for conveyancing in Victoria Park
Unless a previous purchase of the premises completed post 12 October 2013 you could take it that lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Victoria Park to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Victoria Park , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Victoria Park conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Victoria Park registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Victoria Park is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Victoria Park are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Victoria Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Victoria Park may decide 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.
We have AIP from Chelsea Building Society who said that they will loan up to £117k. When do we need to instruct a lawyer for conveyancing? Victoria Park is where we are purchasing.
You can instruct a lawyer now and ask them to create a file for you. This will enable: 1) the selling agent to issue a Sales Memo to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to send out the draft agreement. However, do not instruct your property lawyer to start searches until you have your valuation report from Chelsea Building Society and you are willing to move forward.
