Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wanstead

Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Wanstead?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Wanstead your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Wanstead. The Wanstead property was put into my name in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. Some mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this obligation is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Wanstead conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for Lloyds to forward the offer to the property lawyer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Lloyds done the valuation? Have you informed Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Wanstead. I have a mortgage agreed with Nationwide. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wanstead is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Wanstead are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.
