Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Canary Wharf

I am in need of a conveyancer. Do I opt for an internet conveyancer rather than a local Canary Wharf conveyancing lawyer?

In the main conveyancing practitioners in your neck of the woods will enjoy strong connections with your local authority, which could assist with your Canary Wharf conveyancing searches that your lawyer will inevitably need. It also helps if they enjoy existing relationships with the Local Land Registry Office your area Canary Wharf, other conveyancers in the area and Canary Wharf Estate Agents.

The Canary Wharf conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Canary Wharf have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and my family Canary Wharf lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What should be my next steps?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of stalling in Canary Wharf conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Canary Wharf in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company.
