We instructed a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Nine Elms yesterday. Upon checking the Terms I noteI am liable for costs even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or choose a web based solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Nine Elms?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to neutralise those transactions that abort. Dont forget that such offerings rarely protect you from disbursements e.g. Nine Elms conveyancing search costs.
My wife and I are refinancing our flat in Nine Elms with Barclays. 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. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the Barclays conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his rights to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Barclays 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 Barclays. This is solely used to protect Barclays 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 Barclays 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.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Nine Elms. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Nine Elms. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £225. Soon after, the lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Santander 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 Santander 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.

The property agent will need to be advised as to your conveyancing practitioner's details (make sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s panel). Telephone UBS or the financial adviser and complete any relevant forms.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. UBS 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.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Nine Elms concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 asset 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.
