Would the conveyancing lawyers that are recommend handle auction conveyancing in Denham?
We know of a number of niche lawyers we can put you in touch with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Denham is just one of hundreds of locations in which our lawyers have a presence.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Denham. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Denham involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Denham?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Denham is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Denham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Denham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Denham 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.
Me and my husband are disposing of a Denham ground floor flat we inherited 5 years ago in 2010. I have over ten years conveyancing experience and, now retired, wish to do the legal work. The purchaser's solicitor has informed me that their Lenders will not allow us to do our own conveyancing requiring the funds to be released via a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage requirements to conveyancing practitioners from all mainstream lenders state that If the vendor is not legally represented the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be notified so that a decision can be made as to whether they are prepared to move forward.
