I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Halifax. My intention is to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Poplar. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Poplar. What can I do to speed up matters?
In a situation where you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and know-how. It is even conceivable that they may have handled otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Poplar conveyancing firm. In addition, check that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is said that 18% of Poplar conveyancing deals are frustrated or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the transaction being held up by an average of 21 days. It is said that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home sales annually. Most Poplar conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
At what point will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Poplar and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Poplar you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Poplar)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Poplar I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Poplar in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

The benefit of a high street Poplar conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Poplar know how is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were impressed that should trump using an unknown Poplar conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
