Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kingston

Due to complete my purchase in Kingston next Friday. My lawyer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What does the insurance need to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 requirements. These requirements are not unique to conveyancing in Kingston.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Kingston. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Nottingham Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you help?

The first thing to do is phone the solicitor and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can call Nottingham Building Society who may be able to assist.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Kingston with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it will impact my loan with Virgin Money. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

Should I be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Kingston conveyancing company?

As with many service providers, often referrals from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are many people with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all put forward lawyers to choose. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that some banks specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.

In searching the web for the phrase cheap conveyancing in Kingston it reveals many conveyancerslocally. How do I determine which is the right conveyancing solicitor for me?

The preferential way of seeking the right conveyancer is through a trusted testimonial, so seek the counsel of colleagues and relatives who have acquired a property in Kingston or the respected estate agent or mortgage broker. Costs for conveyancing in Kingston vary, so it's advisable to obtain at least three costs illustrations from different law firms. Be sure to obtain confirmation that the costs are assured not to escalate.

My conveyancers in Kingston have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?

It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
