Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Spitalfields

Some advice if I may. My Spitalfields solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound toorder Spitalfields conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydsapproved lawyer panel. Is this really necessary?

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications .

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Spitalfields. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Spitalfields?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

This tends to happen early afternoon.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Spitalfields conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Spitalfields conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you speak with two or three firms including non Spitalfields conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be helpful:

    How many lease extensions has the firm carried out in Spitalfields in the last twenty four months?

We have reached the end of our tether in negotiating a lease extension in Spitalfields. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

Where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the price payable.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Spitalfields residence is 1-41 Royal Tower Lodge 40 Cartwright Street in April 2013. the tribunal adding the agreed value of capitalised ground rents and the reversion the price to be paid for the freehold was £1,187,000 This case affected 41 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 107 years.

Myself and my husband have just had an offer accepted on a house and had meeting on Friday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will be subject to an an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have requested HSBC to furnish me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

You can enquire of HSBC what their criteria for panel membership is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please make use of our search tool and we may be able to locate a conveyancing practitioner in Spitalfields on the approved list for HSBC.
