Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Greenford

I opted for a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Greenford yesterday. Going through the official terms of business it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even if the movefalls through. Should I ditch them and choose a web based conveyancing brokerage offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Greenford?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise the conveyances that abort. Please beware that these arrangements tend not to protect you from disbursements by way of example Greenford conveyancing search costs.

My Conveyancer in Greenford is not on the TSB Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the TSB panel?

The limited options open to you here include:

  1. Complete the purchase with your preferred Greenford lawyers but TSB will need to use a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total legal charges as well as result in delays.
  2. Choose a new practitioner to to deal with the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are on the TSB panel

Should my conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Greenford.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Greenford. There are those who purchase a property in Greenford, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which can figure out the risks in Greenford. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the seller to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect reply. A buyer’s lawyers should also commission an enviro search. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be conducted.

My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Greenford. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Greenford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

I'm buying a new build house in Greenford benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
