Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gunnersbury

My wife and I are nearing an exchange on a house in Gunnersbury and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

Your lawyer is obliged to clarify with lender to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Gunnersbury? Is this really necessary?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign should reaffirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Where you are unwilling to hand over identification documents, your conveyancer will not be able to take you on as a client.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Gunnersbury property lawyer on the Aldermore panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Aldermore mortgage has been paid off.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Gunnersbury. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Gunnersbury conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Gunnersbury is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Gunnersbury I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Gunnersbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

How do I use your search facility to select a conveyancing solicitor in Gunnersbury on the authorised to act for my bank?

Step one is to pick a lender such as Accord Mortgages Ltd, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society or Britannia then type in your location for example Gunnersbury. Conveyancing firms in Gunnersbury and beyond will then be identified.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Gunnersbury. I've discover a site which seems to have the ideal solution If it is possible to get all this stuff done via phone that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
