Much to our surprise we have been notified by our financial adviser that my Mortlake solicitor is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I check?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Mortlake conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Mortlake conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
Please could you suggest a HSBC Bank sanctioned Mortlake conveyancing practice finish our house move within less than a month? Would it be better to use a high street Mortlake firm or a web based comparison site?
We can recommend some very good Mortlake conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the high street in Mortlake. Visit a couple of firms and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a fee estimate. Explain your deadline together with your reasons and get a commitment on speed. Choose the lawyer that you trust.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Mortlake. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Mortlake
-
Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Mortlake is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Mortlake are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Mortlake you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Mortlake may decide 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 property.
Am I right to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm rather than a local Mortlake conveyancing company?
As is the case with many professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all put forward lawyers to retain. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that many banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
My in 2007. He has got wed, widowed and is now remarried. He now wants to the sell the Mortlake property. I suspect that he will simply be need to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the conveyancer but he is concerned it will delay the conveyancing. Should he instruct a conveyancing practitioner to update the Land Registry information for the property?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the title for the property providing you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the name change has come about.
Any buyer’s property lawyer should review the registered details and need evidence by way of proof of the name change e.g. marriage certificates.
