Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fairlop

I am progressing with the sale of my maisonette in Fairlop and the EA has just called to advise that the purchasers are swapping conveyancer. The excuse is that the bank will only deal with solicitors on their approved list. Why would a major mortgage company only work with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to appoint to handle their conveyancing in Fairlop ?

UK lenders have always had panels of law firms that can represent them, but in recent years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for more than 15 years.

Mortgage companies point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the reduction – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Some are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your purchasers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.

Are the BSA planning on creating a online directory to list law firms on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Fairlop?

We are not aware of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.

I am due to move house in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Fairlop. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this page.

On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent however this can only take place after the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Fairlop or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Fairlop.

Is it correct that all Fairlop CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing list of approved firms?

It is true that some banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.

Can I be sure that the Fairlop conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Fairlop seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Fairlop is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Fairlop are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Fairlop you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Fairlop 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 property.

Am I right to be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Fairlop conveyancing firm?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often recommendations from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest lawyers to appoint. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that many banks specify a panel list of law firms you have to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.

All being well we will complete the sale of our £150,000 garden flat in Fairlop in nine days. The freeholder has quoted £408 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Fairlop?

For the majority of leasehold sales in Fairlop conveyancing will involve, queries regarding the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

    Addressing pre-exchange questions Where consent is required before sale in Fairlop Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Fairlop leasehold premises is £350. For Fairlop conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply the information.

My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Fairlop. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
