Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South Woodford

Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in South Woodford but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller of three thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Virgin Money are not allowing this. Why were they notified?

Your conveyancing practitioner that is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Virgin Money of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in South Woodford.

Finally the sale completed on my house in South Woodford last October but our buyer keeps Skype messaging every few hours complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

Following your sale your solicitor is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in South Woodford.

I am buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in South Woodford who is on the Alliance & Leicester approved. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester in certain locations such as South Woodford. We dont recommend any particular firm.

Can you point me to a directory of Yorkshire BS panel conveyancers in South Woodford on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings open the public on the web. Where you are seeking to appoint a South Woodford property lawyer on the Yorkshire BS please use our tool.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Barclays are being difficult. The South Woodford solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

My offer was accepted on a property in South Woodford on 6/1/2026, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

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

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in South Woodford. 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…’
