Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barnsbury

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Barnsbury. I would like to know the understand why all Barnsbury conveyancers aren't included on all bank panels?

Before the recession most lenders had an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Consequently, mortgage companies have subsequently requiredmore data from law firms concerning their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible satisfy the criteria of volume of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.

I am buying a newly constructed flat in Barnsbury and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the developer. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I would rather not delay deal. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather appoint a Barnsbury based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the likelihood is that give you one of their panel solicitors where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Contact the mortgage company and determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Barnsbury.

Will my lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Barnsbury.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Barnsbury. Some people will buy a property in Barnsbury, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Barnsbury. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the owner to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s conveyancers should also order an enviro search. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be made.
