Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gerrards Cross

Me and my fiance are hoping to buy a 1 bedroom apartment in Gerrards Cross with a mortgage. We have a Gerrards Cross solicitor, but the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to use one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or keep our Gerrards Cross solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; can we not demand that the bank use our Gerrards Cross solicitor ?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Gerrards Cross conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Gerrards Cross. Almost all the properties have already been sold. Is it really necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Gerrards Cross?

You are putting yourself at risk in not carrying out Gerrards Cross conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying mortgage free there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would absolutely advise in no uncertain terms that your lawyer conducts them. Where time pressures and expenses are top of your concerns you should consider with your lawyer about the option of search insurance

My house in Gerrards Cross is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my solicitor have to be required to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Gerrards Cross before instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

Given that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in Gerrards Cross I wish to talk to a solicitor about myhome move in advance of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Gerrards Cross.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a file reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Gerrards Cross should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Gerrards Cross. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all ground rent and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
