Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ruislip Manor

I am 4 weeks into the sale of my apartment in Ruislip Manor and the EA has just telephoned to advise that the purchasers are changing their solicitor. The excuse is that the bank will only deal with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a big named lender only engage with specific solicitors rather the firm that they want to appoint for their conveyancing in Ruislip Manor ?

Lenders have always had panels of law firms that can act for them, but in the last few years big names such as HSBC, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for decades.

Lending institutions justify this action to a rise in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. Banks tend not to disclose how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Some are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your purchasers are not going to have any sway in the decision.

The housing market in Ruislip Manor is heating up. What can be done to expedite the conveyancing process?

Where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have handled otherproperties in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Ruislip Manor conveyancing solicitor. Second, double check that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that 18% of Ruislip Manor conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being delayed by almost 21 days. It is understood that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Most Ruislip Manor conveyancing practices can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Ruislip Manor is more expensive?

In short, leasehold conveyancing in Ruislip Manor and elsewhere usually warrants extra hours of investigation compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes lease investigation, communicating with the landlord about the service of applicable notices, securing current service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.

We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Ruislip Manor for our house move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Leeds Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

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.
