It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Isleworth. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may be archived with the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Isleworth involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I am purchasing a garden flat in Isleworth. How practical is it for me to do the conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Isleworth you will have to appoint a solicitor on your bank's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Isleworth.
We previously appointed conveyancers located in Isleworth on the RBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for handling the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by RBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by RBS but by your Isleworth conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Isleworth conveyancing lawyers were instructed. How long does it take for TSB to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB done the valuation? Have you advised TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
About to purchase apartment in Isleworth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Isleworth property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
