Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kentish Town

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Kentish Town? Why is this being asked of me?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. If you are unwilling to supply ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.

My wife and I are intent on selling our house in Kentish Town and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kentish Town. Having lived in Kentish Town for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I am buying my first flat in Kentish Town with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Kentish Town is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Kentish Town are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kentish Town you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kentish Town may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My business partner and I are wishing to take an assignment of a lease of a shop on a shopping parade. Can you recommend lawyers offering no-sale-no fees for commercial conveyancing in Kentish Town for less than £1,200?

My husband and I are 18 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in Kentish Town. I am am very frustrated with the level of service. Could you help me find new solicitors?

A lawyer would need to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has your mortgage been generated? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are issued to the new lawyers. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental fees and delays. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.
