Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dockland Settlement

We are purchasing a brand new duplex in Dockland Settlement and my conveyancer is informing me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and my preference is not to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I just bought a flat at auction in Dockland Settlement. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?

Now that you have for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you must instruct a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the deal. An auction property will have a corresponding auction set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your lawyer requires. If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

Are all Dockland Settlement Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?

It is true that some lenders now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Dockland Settlement. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Dockland Settlement solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

What will a local search tell me about the house my wife and I purchasing in Dockland Settlement?

Dockland Settlement conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for instance Onsearch The local search is essential in every Dockland Settlement conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search will supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Dockland Settlement?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Dockland Settlement. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Dockland Settlement in advance of retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to give a loan on such a home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Dockland Settlement. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

My mother and father cant seem to find their Dockland Settlement property on the HMLR website. They recall that 50 years ago when they bought the house there were complications with the address not being recognised in some systems.

Nearly all premises in Dockland Settlement should appear. Have you limited your search to just the postcode. Usually it should disclose all the properties inside that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought sixty years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title papers which may be with your parent’s bank.
