Planning on purchasing a flat in Spitalfields. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Spitalfields conveyancing practitioner is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
Just acquired a terraced house in Spitalfields , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Spitalfields conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Spitalfields registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Spitalfields differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Spitalfields come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Spitalfields tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Spitalfields or who has acted in the same development.

It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Spitalfields to discover Conveyancing in Spitalfields in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the whole property - which is definitely preferable. You should double check with your property lawyer but it would appear that your lawyer is seeking to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated as a result of lack of insurance.
