My flat in North London is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will the solicitor have to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently currently.

I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local North London bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My North London conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.

The property lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a North London lawyer having checked that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your North London postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in North London.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. UBS will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in North London.

How does conveyancing in North London differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in North London approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in North London usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in North London or who has acted in the same development.

We are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in North London. I am am starting to be dissatisfied with the quality of service. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

The solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid escalating expenses and frustration. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.
