Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South Hackney

Completed the sale of my flat in South Hackney last February yet the purchaser is e-mailing daily to say her solicitor is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

If applicable, your conveyancer must also confirm that the mortgage has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers.

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of delay in South Hackney conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in South Hackney.

I am buying my first flat in South Hackney with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

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.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we use their recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in South Hackney

It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted South Hackney conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.

I am buying a leasehold property in South Hackney. Conveyancing estimates are coming in at around £1800. Is that reasonable?
