Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South Kensington

My husband and I are looking to buy a property in South Kensington and have appointed a South Kensington conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. Bank of Ireland have this evening contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our South Kensington lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred South Kensington lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

I am buying a property without a mortgage in South Kensington. I have lived for the previous Seventeen years in South Kensington. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the South Kensington conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. Do consider; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it could be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where premises with day to day issues can still show up unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in South Kensington should provide you some practical guidance in this regard.

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list solicitors on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for example in South Kensington?

Lexsure has not been advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in South Kensington. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in South Kensington?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

We are planning to move house in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in South Kensington. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the property agent however this can only happen once the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in South Kensington or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in South Kensington.

Is there a list of Aldermore panel solicitors in South Kensington on the Building Society Association’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings available on the web. If you are in need of a South Kensington lawyer on the Aldermore please use our tool.

What are your top tips when it comes to finding a South Kensington conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a South Kensington conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you make enquires with two or three firms including non South Kensington conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:

    Can they put you in touch with clients in South Kensington who can give a testimonial?

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a South Kensington conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to judgment on the premium.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a South Kensington residence is Flat 16 21/22 Stanhope Gardens in November 2010. the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal concluded that the premium to be paid by the tenant on the grant of a new lease, in accordance with section 56 and Schedule 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, was £106,975 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 51.93 years.
