Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shoreditch

I can't travel far from Shoreditch. I would like to know the logic why all Shoreditch solicitors are not on all mortgage company panels?

Even though it may seem unfair for banks to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the other side of the coin is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and regard it essential to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern lenders have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a manageable size.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Shoreditch?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Shoreditch. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I'm purchasing my first flat in Shoreditch with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Shoreditch is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Shoreditch are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Shoreditch you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shoreditch may decide 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.

My company is looking to lease a unit on a shopping parade. Can you recommend solicitors offering fixed charges for commercial conveyancing in Shoreditch for less than £1,200?

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Shoreditch?

Conveyancing - in Shoreditch or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the seller to remedy the problems before you complete your move.
