Recently asked questions about conveyancing in St Leonard Shoreditch

We're in St Leonard Shoreditch, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Aldermore , and our solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I am helping my step-mother sell her property in St Leonard Shoreditch. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or it is for me to coordinate?

After the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments remained a required component of moving house. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is put on the market. It is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are using a St Leonard Shoreditch conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable local energy assessors

When it comes to mortgage companies such as HSBC, do St Leonard Shoreditch lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I have paid off my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a St Leonard Shoreditch property lawyer on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your RBS mortgage has been paid off.

    Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I have been advised by a couple of local estate agents in St Leonard Shoreditch to select a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
