Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South Hackney

My fiance and I are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in South Hackney with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society.We have a South Hackney conveyancing practitioner but Nottingham Building Society says he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Nottingham Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Nottingham Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society

How can we tell if a South Hackney conveyancing solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in South Hackney getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local South Hackney solicitor - who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own South Hackney surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in South Hackney has been accepted, now what?

Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Yorkshire BS or the financial adviser and finalise any relevant paperwork. Yorkshire BS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in South Hackney.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor used to conveyancing in South Hackney

It is improbable the owners are behind this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred South Hackney conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
