We hired a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Nine Elms yesterday. Looking through the small print it is apparent thatI am liable for costs even if the movefalls through. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line conveyancing company advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Nine Elms?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise those cases that abort. You should be mindful that such schemes generally do not cover disbursements for example Nine Elms conveyancing search expenses.
My fiance and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Nine Elms with Yorkshire BS. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Yorkshire BS. This is solely used to protect Yorkshire BS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Yorkshire BS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Nine Elms. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Nine Elms. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Coventry BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Nine Elms has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will need to be advised as to your solicitor's details (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Coventry BS or the financial adviser and finish off any outstanding paperwork. Coventry BS will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Coventry BS will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Nine Elms.

4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Nine Elms completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
