IfI was to acquire a straightforward housein Hackney Wick for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Hackney Wick?
Any savings you would gain would be limited to the disbursement for searches. A conveyancing practitioner still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the vendors property lawyer, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage however it won't be a lot.
I am in the process of remortgaging my house in Hackney Wick, does my lawyer have to be on the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Leeds Building Society will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I am helping my sister sell her house in Hackney Wick. Will the conveyancing solicitor order the EPC or it is for me to coordinate?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was maintained a compulsory part of moving property. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned before the property is marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers normally organise. Where you are instructing a Hackney Wick conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with long established local energy assessors
How can we know in advance if a Hackney Wick conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Hackney Wick getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.
My wife and I are spending time looking at houses in Hackney Wick and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancer appointed at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Barclays.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Hackney Wick concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a three room flatin Hackney Wick with a loan from a bank. We wish to instruct our lawyer in Hackney Wick but our lender inform us now that he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our lender panel firms or keep our Hackney Wick conveyancer and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The bank mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Hackney Wick : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
