My IFA has requested my Emerson Park law firm’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have contacted my local Emerson Park office but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Emerson Park lawyer . Most Emerson Park conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
My partner and I have just bought a property in Emerson Park. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Emerson Park?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Emerson Park. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a document called a SPIF. answers is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Emerson Park.

My wife and I buying a terrace house in Emerson Park. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to ascertain if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Emerson Park can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain works or necessitated the consent of another owner. Certain works call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Emerson Park. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £200. Not long after, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Emerson Park took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am buying my first flat in Emerson Park benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it will affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

What makes a Emerson Park lease unmortgageable?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Emerson Park. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A duty to insure the building Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, The Mortgage Works, and Bank of Ireland all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
