Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Canning Town

My partner and I are acquiring a newly built apartment in Canning Town and my solicitor is telling me that she has to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. I am on a tight deadline to exchange and I don't want to delay matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company 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.

It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Canning Town. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Will this cause complications?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Canning Town involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I have recentlybecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Canning Town for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can make 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 Canning Town conveyancing specialists.

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I was recommended by a number of selling agents in Canning Town to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than another?

We don’t make any commission for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

What is the reason for my property lawyer requiring numerous items of identification before they can commence with my conveyancing in Canning Town?

Canning Town conveyancing practitioners are duty bound by the Law Society, Solicitors Regulation Authority, HM Land Registry and current Money Laundering Regulations to certify that the have verified the identity of their clients. It will also be a requirement of your mortgage offer. In addition they have to complete various forms, particularly those relating to SDLT and need to have details such as your full names, national insurance number and date of birth.
