Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Radlett

I am considering applying for a Lloyds mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Radlett with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

My wife and I purchasing a end of terrace house in Radlett. Our aim is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?

Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Radlett will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of changes or necessitated the permission of another owner. Some works need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

Can I be sure that the Radlett conveyancing solicitor on the TSB panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Radlett getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Radlett on 17/4/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to HSBC and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could impact a commercial land in Radlett?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Radlett will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Radlett. The report provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Radlett.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Radlett it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could result in delays to Radlett commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Radlett.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Radlett is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Radlett are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Radlett you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Radlett may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandmother I am disposing of a property in Neath but live in Radlett. My solicitor (who is 300 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Radlett to attest and place their company stamp on the document?

strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Radlett

Should I be concerned if there is a problem with one of the searches for our conveyancing in Radlett?

Ordinarily, most adverse entries arising from Radlett conveyancing search responses can be dealt with ahead of completion or title insurance can be put in place.
