I am considering applying for a HSBC mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Farringdon with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for HSBC ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but HSBC will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Farringdon completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 property 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Farringdon is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Farringdon are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Farringdon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Farringdon 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 residence.

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Farringdon conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
