What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Homerton

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Homerton conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Homerton solicitor - who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Homerton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Homerton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Homerton conveyancing specialists.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Homerton. I have discover a site which appears to be the perfect solution If it is possible to get all the legals done via email that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?

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?

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Homerton. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Homerton - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can one make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Homerton conveyancing firm to represent me?

in cases where there is a missing landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to decide the price payable.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Homerton premises is 104 Nightingale Road in May 2009. The Tribunal's Decision is that the premium torbe paid for the enfranchisement in this case is £112,174 This case was in relation to 10 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 71.25 years.

My husband and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Homerton. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, we were told they were on all mainstream lender panels. Our financial adviser emailed just now to advise that they are not on the Coventry BS approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we just find a different conveyancer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Coventry BS selecting their own approved property lawyer.

If you are purchasing a property requiring a mortgage it is conventional for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancing practitioner to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to meet. Some building societies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Homerton lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the mix.
