Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hackney Marshes

My wife and I are planning to buy a flat in Hackney Marshes and are in fact using a Hackney Marshes conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Coventry Building Society have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Hackney Marshes lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. 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 Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your mortgage company 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 bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Hackney Marshes lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

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

Hackney Marshes conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to verify the ID of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients are required to supply two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).

Proof of the origin of monies is also necessary in accordance with the money laundering laws as conveyancers are duty bound to ensure that the funds you are using to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase price where you are buying mortgage free) has come from legitimate source (such as an inheritance) and is not the proceeds of illegitimate behaviour.

I am buying my first flat in Hackney Marshes with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Hackney Marshes in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend not issue a loan on such a property.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the disposal of our £350,000 maisonette in Hackney Marshes next week. The management company has quoted £300 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Hackney Marshes?

Hackney Marshes conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally necessitates fees being invoiced by managing agents :

    Answering pre-exchange enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Hackney Marshes Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Hackney Marshes leasehold property is £350. For Hackney Marshes conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to supply the information.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can one apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Hackney Marshes conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Hackney Marshes conveyancing firm who can help.
