What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Newham?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Newham and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the house moving process. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and even potentially the lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Newham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a distinct creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer above the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

We're in Newham, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I am being advised by my solicitor that missing deeds insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Newham conveyancing?

The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I am buying a property in Newham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds 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 Lloyds your lawyer must check the formal instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Newham.

Clydesdale have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Newham has been agreed to, now what?

Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Clydesdale or the broker and finish off any relevant documentation. Clydesdale will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Newham.

3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Newham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Newham is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Newham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Newham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Newham may ascertain 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 premises.
