Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Leytonstone

The Leytonstone conveyancing firm handling our Leytonstone conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer says that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach right?

Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Having sold my house in Leytonstone last December yet the purchaser is texting me to moan that his lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?

Following your disposal your lawyer should forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Leytonstone.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the primary cause of obstruction in Leytonstone house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Leytonstone.

4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Leytonstone took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Leytonstone is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Leytonstone are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Leytonstone you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Leytonstone may determine 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 premises.

I'm refinancing my existing house to a BTL mortgage with Barnsley Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on further house. The area we are interested in is Leytonstone. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two lenders and link together the transactions?

Do use our search tool on this site to be sure that the solicitors are on the appropriate lender panels. Having checked that they are your conveyancer should be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you solicitor and make clear your expectations and needs.
