Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Waltham Forest

I plan on buying property in Waltham Forest. My lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company approved list. Is it possible for me to continue with my Waltham Forest conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company approved list?

One will need to instruct a solicitor to complete the legal work required if you take out a loan to buy your home. The lawyer will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may select a Waltham Forest conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the conveyancer appointed is not on the lender solicitor panel supplemental charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I am under pressure from the owner of a property in Waltham Forest to sign contracts within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?

First, If the seller is applying a tight deadline to exchange it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have handled previousproperties in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Waltham Forest conveyancing firm. In addition, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is believed that 18% of Waltham Forest conveyancing transactions are frustrated or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal transfer of property being delayed by as much as 21 days. It is believed that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Almost all Waltham Forest conveyancing firms can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

Can you point me to a directory of Yorkshire BS panel conveyancers in Waltham Forest on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings open the public over the internet. If you are seeking to appoint a Waltham Forest conveyancing practitioner on the Yorkshire BS please use our facility.

We were going to get a DIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Waltham Forest solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Waltham Forest solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Waltham Forest. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Waltham Forest took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Waltham Forest is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Waltham Forest are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Waltham Forest you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Waltham Forest 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 property.
