I am purchasing a house mortgage free in South Hornchurch. I have lived for the last twelve years in South Hornchurch. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the South Hornchurch conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to take that path of advice. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house in the future, it may be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes houses with day to day issues can still show up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in South Hornchurch should be able to give you some constructive guidance concerning this.
I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in South Hornchurch. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this clause chiefly exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. South Hornchurch conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS completed the survey? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
My offer on a semi in South Hornchurch has been agreed to, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in South Hornchurch. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, South Hornchurch conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in South Hornchurch.

Do I need to be wary that estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local South Hornchurch conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often input from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may recommend conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that most lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in South Hornchurch. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in South Hornchurch - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
