Finally, a mortgage offer from Santander for the refinancing of my 4 bedroom maisonette is coming by the end of next week. Could you recommend a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Coombe?
This site is not designed to aid those in pursuit of a cheap conveyancing in Coombe. We can offer you excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing organisations teasing you with £99 conveyancing in Coombe. In your best case scenario, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up being stung for additional fees and still not receive the service expected.
I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Coombe. What can I do to speed up matters?
Where you are under pressure to exchange we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and intelligence. It is possible that they could have transacted previousproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Coombe conveyancing lawyer. In addition, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is said that 18% of Coombe conveyancing deals are frustrated or derailed after discovering a buyer’s lawyer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is understood that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Almost all Coombe conveyancing practices can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.
Are all Coombe Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Nationwide, do Coombe solicitors incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Leeds Building Society. Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Coombe is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Coombe. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Coombe

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. 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. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Coombe is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Coombe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Coombe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Coombe may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
We are soon to acquiring a apartment in Coombe. Conveyancing is not yet done but we would like keep our purchase price confidential from sites such as Zoopla. How do I ensure this is not revealed?
HM Land Registry by statute are bound to reveal price sold data on the official title for residential properties nationwide which includes properties in Coombe. The register of title is an open document, so HM Land Registry would be breaching their statutory duty if they failed to allow access to the register.
You can ask the Land Registry to hide the price paid data but the answer will be a No.
