Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Newham

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Newham is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?

That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Newham conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am helping my mother sell her house in Newham. Will the conveyancer order an EPC or do I organise this?

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates was left as a required element of moving property. An energy assessment should be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally arrange. If you are instructing a Newham conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local providers

is it true that all Newham solicitor practices on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Newham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Newham.

About to purchase a new build flat in Newham. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Newham

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

My partner has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Newham. Do I follow his recommendation?

There are no two ways about it the best way to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to have recommendations from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the firm that you are considering.

What do I do if I am unhappy with the lawyer who undertook our conveyancing in Newham?

We live in an imperfect world, and unfortunately sometimes things do go wrong. However there is recourse if you were unhappy with your conveyancing in Newham. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a conveyancing practitioner to their regulator.
