Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Plaistow

I am purchasing an apartment in Plaistow. My property lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Plaistow conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?

One must appoint a solicitor to complete the legal work required when you require a mortgage to buy your property. They will carry out all the necessary due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. You can select a Plaistow solicitor of your choice. However, if the lawyer selected is not on the lender conveyancing panel supplemental charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Plaistow. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team 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.

About to purchase apartment in Plaistow. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Plaistow solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Plaistow lawyer having made sure that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Plaistow surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I acquired my flat on 6 August and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Plaistow said it will be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Plaistow particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Plaistow registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Should I use a Plaistow conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can carry out the conveyancing but they are based 300miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Plaistow conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Plaistow know how is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were impressed that should outweigh using an unknown Plaistow conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Plaistow. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Plaistow - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Following years of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Plaistow. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Plaistow conveyancing firm who can help.
