Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Islington

We note that you have a search directory identifying law firms on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Islington?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Islington.

What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Islington?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. 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.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Islington. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Islington?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

How can we tell if a Islington conveyancing solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Islington obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.

The mortgage over my property is with Bank of Ireland for my property in Islington. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?

Bank of Ireland must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Bank of Ireland directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel firm.
