Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dollis Hill

I can't travel far from Dollis Hill. I would like to know the logic why all Dollis Hill lawyers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?

Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to lenders purging a number of firms off their books of approved solicitors .

I am hoping to complete my purchase in Dollis Hill next Tuesday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the mortgage company. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?

All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Dollis Hill.

I purchased a freehold house in Dollis Hill yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Dollis Hill and has limited impact for conveyancing in Dollis Hill but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

We're in Dollis Hill, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is RBS , and our solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Dollis Hill 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

You no longer need to have the physical deeds to prove you are the owner of your registered land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Am I best advised to instruct a Dollis Hill conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can conduct the legal formalities however her office is approximately 350miles away.

The benefit of a high street Dollis Hill conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and in the main were impressed that should trump using an unfamiliar Dollis Hill conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
