Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Waterloo

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Waterloo is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Waterloo conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

Will lawyers ask for money on account for my conveyancing in Waterloo?

If you are buying a property in Waterloo your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is payable against the sale price then this should be needed shortly before exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed will be payable a couple of days ahead of the completion date.

I am selling my house in Waterloo. Will my solicitor have to be required to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Waterloo for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest method to check if the property 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 Waterloo conveyancing specialists.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Waterloo before appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can investigate further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Waterloo. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Waterloo to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

Taking into account that I will soon part with £400,000 on a property in Waterloo I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer concerning thetransaction in advance of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor who will be conducting your property ownership legalities in Waterloo.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a matter reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Waterloo should be the figure that you are charged.
