Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Islington

It has taken forever and a day but a loan agreement from HSBC for the remortgage of my 3 room garden flat is coming any day now. Can you suggest a low cost conveyancing lawyer in Islington?

This site is not designed to assist those in their quest for the lowest fares for conveyancing in Islington. Our goal is to offer value for money conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing organisations teasing you with £100 conveyancing in Islington. Optimistically, in deciding on low cost conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst you will end up spending a lot in additional fees and still not get the service expected.

We note that you have a post code search directory listing firms on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Islington?

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

We're in Islington, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Kent Reliance , and our solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

When it comes to lenders such as Barclays, do Islington conveyancers face a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

Is there a list of RBS panel solicitors in Islington on the Building Society Association’s Website?

No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings open the public online. If you are in need of a Islington property lawyer on the RBS please make the most of our facility.

We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Nationwide as we intend to carry out renovations to our property in Islington. Do we need to select a nearby Islington solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Nationwide do not ordinarily require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Islington differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Islington come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Islington 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 conveyancers 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 Islington or who has acted in the same development.

I have been advised by three or four local estate agents in Islington to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over and above another?

We don’t make any financial incentive for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
