I am under pressure from the seller of a property in Mortlake to exchange within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?

In the event that you are under a tight deadline to sign contracts it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will make use of local connections and insight. It is possible that they may have conducted otherhomes in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Mortlake conveyancing solicitor. Second, double check that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is estimated that nearly one in five of Mortlake conveyancing deals are frustrated or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the home move being frustrated by an average of three weeks. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Most Mortlake conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Mortlake conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the UBS conveyancing panel?

Mortlake conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from UBS directly.

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Mortlake for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Virgin Money won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

Lenders tend to imposes restrictions either the type or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have decided to limit the amount of solicitor practices they permit to represent them. Be aware that Virgin Money have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Virgin Money Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains differing opinions regarding the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Mortlake only execute a couple conveyances per annum.

I require fast conveyancing in Mortlake as I have pressure to sign on the dotted line within one month. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are not taking a mortgage you are at liberty not to do searches although no conveyancer would suggest that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Mortlake the following are examples of what can appear and adversely affect future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Mortlake. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and The Mortgage Works. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Mortlake and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
