We wanted to use a property lawyer in Harrow Weald for our house purchase. Our broker has since notified us that our bank Bank of Ireland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Before the recession most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Harrow Weald conveyancing firms would have been on most mortgage company panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more data from law firms about their operations and their employees as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of transactions. Many Harrow Weald conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Harrow Weald is one of the thousands of areas where the conveyancers we list are are approved Bank of Ireland.
I moved into my apartment on 10 August and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Harrow Weald expressed confidence that it would be formalised inside ten days. Are properties in Harrow Weald uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Harrow Weald registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Harrow Weald I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Harrow Weald for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Harrow Weald
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Harrow Weald conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be regarded as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, constitute the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Harrow Weald or further afield.
