Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hackney Wick

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a Hackney Wick based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the likelihood is that give you one of their panel lawyers if you take up the "fee-free" deal. Call the bank and explore if they offer you a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Hackney Wick.

We are aiming to move house in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Hackney Wick. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this page.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent but this can only occur when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Hackney Wick or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Hackney Wick.

My partner and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Clydesdale as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Hackney Wick. Do we need to select a local Hackney Wick solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Clydesdale do not ordinarily require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

Intending to buy a house in Hackney Wick. 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 Principality 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 Hackney Wick lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

A relative advised me that if I am buying in Hackney Wick I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is occasionally included in the estimate for your Hackney Wick conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Hackney Wick around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Hackney Wick Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Hackney Wick.

How does conveyancing in Hackney Wick differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Hackney Wick approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Hackney Wick tend to acquire the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Hackney Wick or who has acted in the same development.

I was recommended by a few estate agents in Hackney Wick to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of another?

We don’t give any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I have today had an offer accepted on an apartment in Hackney Wick and the broker that we are using recommended his conveyancing practitioner. She quoted £800 plus VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound expensive?

You should not rely on one estimate. One should obtain like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Hackney Wick. Then choose one that you trust and just as important, is on the approved panel of the lender that you have applied for a mortgage from.
