Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Highbury

My IFA says he needs my Highbury lawyer’ panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have tried my local Highbury office but they don't know it.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Highbury lawyer . Most Highbury conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

Various web forums that I have come across warn that are the number one cause of obstruction in Highbury conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Highbury.

I used Action Conveyancing several years past for my conveyancing in Highbury. Now, I need the documents but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

You should call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Highbury of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

How does conveyancing in Highbury differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Highbury come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Highbury typically acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Highbury or who has acted in the same development.

My step-father has suggested that I use his conveyancers in Highbury. Should I use them?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Highbury conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to get feedback from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the solicitor you're are thinking of instructing.

My wife and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Highbury. When we first instructed solicitor, they assured us that they were on all major UK lender panels. Our mortgage broker contacted us just now to advise that they are not on the Clydesdale approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply pick a new lawyer that is on their approved list or should we cover the costs for separate representation, with Clydesdale selecting their own approved conveyancer.

If you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the lawyer has to satisfy. Some banks now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Clydesdale and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Clydesdale's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Highbury lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
