I am looking for value for money property lawyer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer rather than a local Little Ilford conveyancing solicitor?
Existing third party connections are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Little Ilford law firms often have long term relationships with financial advisers and agents, local authorities, valuers and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much smoother for you. Having a wealth of intelligence of the local area is an advantage.
Please help. My Little Ilford solicitor is assuring me that he has toconduct Little Ilford conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. These Little Ilford checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Little Ilford conveyancing searches.

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Little Ilford conveyancing practitioner on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Little Ilford. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

What are the frequently found defects that you witness in leases for Little Ilford properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Little Ilford. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the property A duty to insure the building
You could have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Yorkshire Building Society, Virgin Money, and Aldermore all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to pull out.
