Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Millwall

My partner’s mother is a property lawyer. I suspect that I can be offered friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Millwall?

It’s prudent to look for multiple conveyancing estimates. Do use our search tool on this page. You will notice that prices may be different but service levels do differ between property lawyers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.

Our solicitor has identified a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Millwall. The other side have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must check that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

We see that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Principality conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our conveyancing in Millwall?

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

We are planning to move house in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Millwall. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this website.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent however this should only be done after the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Millwall or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Millwall.

My lawyer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Millwall?

The appropriate level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Millwall conveyancing practitioner on the RBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your RBS 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 RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your RBS mortgage has been paid off.

Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Millwall I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thehome move prior to instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Millwall.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Millwall should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

Is it best to go with a Millwall conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can deal with the legal work but they are based approximately 350miles away.

The benefit of a local Millwall conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and they were happy that should trump using an unknown Millwall conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
