Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hackney

It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Hackney. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I can't find my title documents. Will this cause complications?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Hackney involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am expecting a OIP from Lloyds this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Hackney solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Hackney solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.

How does conveyancing in Hackney differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Hackney come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Hackney tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hackney or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Hackney I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hackney in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
