Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hersham

Our conveyancer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Hersham. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the UBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Hersham?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I have been told that property searches are a common reason for obstruction in Hersham house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Hersham.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Hersham before retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to grant a mortgage on such a premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Hersham.
