Having sold my house in Canary Wharf last September yet the purchaser is Skype messaging daily complaining that her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?

After completion of your house sale your solicitor should send the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion formalities peculiar conveyancing in Canary Wharf.

My Solicitor in Canary Wharf has never been on on the Barnsley Building Society Approved Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Barnsley Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

The limited options open to you here include:

  1. Complete the purchase with your existing Canary Wharf lawyers but Barnsley Building Society will need to use a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing charges and result in delays.
  2. Choose an alternative practitioner to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are Barnsley Building Society approved.
  3. Try to convince your Barnsley Building Society based solicitor to seek to join the Barnsley Building Society panel

I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Canary Wharf lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Clydesdale mortgage has been paid off.

I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Canary Wharf solicitor - who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Canary Wharf postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Canary Wharf.

RBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Canary Wharf has been agreed to, what happens next?

The property agent will want to be informed of your lawyer's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Call up RBS or your financial adviser and finish off any appropriate forms. RBS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to schedule a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. RBS will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Canary Wharf.

Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the main reason for hinderance in Canary Wharf conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Canary Wharf.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Canary Wharf and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Canary Wharf. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Canary Wharf area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
