Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Epsom

I was advised recently by my mortgage broker that my Epsom property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure whether this is correct?

The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Epsom conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Epsom conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.

Last November we completed a house move in Epsom. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Epsom?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Epsom. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is incorrect, then you may have a claim against the seller 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 Epsom.

I am considering remortgaging my house in Epsom, does my lawyer have to be on the Coventry BS Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, but Coventry BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

I require expedited conveyancing in Epsom as I have an ultimatum to exchange contracts inside one month. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are not taking a mortgage you have the choice not to have searches conducted although no law firm would suggest that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Epsom the following are instances of what can show up and therefore impact the marketability of the property: Enforcement Actions, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

I am buying a new build flat in Epsom. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Epsom

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I need to swap lawyers as my Epsom lawyer is not on the lender's approved list of conveyancing solicitors. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?

In the event that you have not formally appointed a conveyancer to start work and at this stage simply received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Epsom that you're considering.
