Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw

My wife and I are planning to purchase a house in Felling and Pelaw and are in fact using a Felling and Pelaw conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Coventry Building Society have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Felling and Pelaw lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Felling and Pelaw lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

The Felling and Pelaw conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Felling and Pelaw have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a firm on the RBS conveyancing panel and my preferred Felling and Pelaw lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What are my options?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the RBS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.

I need some quick conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw as I am faced with a deadline to complete in less than one month. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not taking a home loan you are at free not to do searches although no lawyer would recommend that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw the following are examples of what can crop up and therefore impact future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Felling and Pelaw. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Felling and Pelaw I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Felling and Pelaw for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
