I am considering applying for a RBS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Romford with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for RBS ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but RBS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
I completed on my house on 8 January and my personal details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Romford advises it would be registered in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Romford uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Romford registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Romford is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Romford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Romford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Romford may determine 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.
Given that I am about to spend £400,000 on a garden flat in Romford I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer about mytransaction in advance of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be conducting your property ownership legalities in Romford.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a matter reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Romford should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
Me and my partner are expecting to exchange on the purchase a property in Romford but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated compensation from the owner of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet my mortgage company will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on the lender conveyancing panel is obliged to advise the mortgage company of any variations to the purchase figure. In the event that you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the price change to your lender then they would have to refrain from acting for you and the mortgage company.
