Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hendon

I am buying a house for cash in Hendon. I have been residing for the previous twelve years in Hendon. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Hendon conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it will likely be be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with functional issues can still show up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Hendon will be able to give you some sensible advice in this regard.

How do I discover of the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Hendon is on the lender’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for The Mortgage Works thus paying £192.00 in another set of conveyancing costs.

You should take advantage of the search tool on this page. Pick the lender and type ‘Hendon’ or your location and you will be presented with a number of lawyer located in Hendon or by proximity to you.

I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Hendon. Does the conveyancer commission an energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?

After the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was left as a mandatory component of moving property. An EPC must be to hand before the property is put on the market. It is not something that law firms normally arrange. If you are using a Hendon conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their contacts with reputable local assessors

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Hendon. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Virgin Money have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Hendon has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Virgin Money or the financial adviser and finish off any outstanding documentation. Virgin Money will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to book a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Virgin Money will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Hendon.

How does conveyancing in Hendon differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Hendon come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Hendon usually purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hendon or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Hendon prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a mortgage on such a home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Hendon. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Hendon to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Hendon. I have land on a site which seems to have the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all the legals done via phone that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
