Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barkingside

I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Barkingside. The vast majority the flats are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Barkingside?

If you getting a mortgage, your bank will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Barkingside conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Barkingside.

Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Barkingside?

If you are buying a property in Barkingside your lawyer will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the total price then this should be required immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be transferred shortly before completion.

My wife and I have a terraced Victorian property in Barkingside. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Leeds Building Society to clarify?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Barkingside and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

I am buying my first flat in Barkingside with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My fiance is buying a basement flat in Barkingside. He has received an estimate by the conveyancer recommended by the selling agents and it came to £1385 . It was eight years ago I sold and purchased a property and the bill was £440. Have fees really gone up that much?
