Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Hampton Wick. I would like to know the reason why all Hampton Wick conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in lenders purging less reputable firms from their books of approved property lawyers .
I am considering remortgaging my apartment in Hampton Wick, does my lawyer have to be on the HSBC Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel, but HSBC would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
Just acquired a terraced house in Hampton Wick , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Hampton Wick conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the land registry aspects are addressed.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hampton Wick registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Hampton Wick. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hampton Wick

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
Should I appoint a Hampton Wick conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal formalities but his firm is located approximately 350miles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Hampton Wick conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and they were happy that should trump using an unknown Hampton Wick conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an maisonette in Hampton Wick accepted, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have offered on somewhere, although it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Hampton Wick. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Hampton Wick conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some buyers will apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and pay for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Hampton Wick.
