Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Canning Town

I am nearing exchange of contracts for my house in Canning Town and the EA has just telephoned to say that the purchasers are swapping property lawyer. I am told that this is due to the fact that the mortgage company will only deal with solicitors on their approved list. Why would a big named mortgage company only work with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Canning Town ?

Mortgage companies have always had panels of law firms they are willing to work with, but in the past few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for more than 25 years.

Lenders justify this action to a rise in fraud as the reason for the pruning – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. Banks tend not to reveal how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Some are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The buyers are unlikely to have any impact on this.

It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Canning Town. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my title deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Canning Town involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am considering remortgaging my apartment in Canning Town, does my lawyer have to be on the Barclays Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel, but Barclays would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that may affect a commercial land in Canning Town?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Canning Town will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Canning Town. The search result provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Canning Town.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Canning Town it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately can result in delays to Canning Town commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for domestic conveyancing in Canning Town.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Canning Town I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Canning Town for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

I am using a search engine for the term conveyancing in Canning Town it shows results of many conveyancersin the vicinity. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right conveyancer for me?

The preferential way of choosing a suitable conveyancer is through a personal referral, so ask friends and relatives who have purchased a property in Canning Town or a respected estate agent or financial adviser. Charges for conveyancing in Canning Town differ, so it's a good idea to request a minimum of four fee calculations from different property lawyers. Dont forget to clarify what costs in the quote includes.
