At what point does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Hackney Wick and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Hackney Wick you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the property agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hackney Wick)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am selling my apartment in Hackney Wick. Will my conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
My colleague advised me that if I am purchasing in Hackney Wick I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Hackney Wick Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Hackney Wick Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Hackney Wick.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Hackney Wick I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hackney Wick for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
I was recommended by numerous property agents in Hackney Wick to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your services rather than another?
We don’t give any commission for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
At long last a loan offer from a bank for the refinancing of my 2 bedroom flat is expected imminently. Can you suggest an efficient remortgage conveyancing law firm in Hackney Wick ?
