Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stepney

The loan offer from HSBC for the refinancing of my 4 bedroom maisonette is to be issued any day now. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing law firm in Stepney?

You have come to the wrong place to search for the cheapest conveyancing in Stepney. Our aim is to provide cost effective conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be fooled by organisations offering £100 conveyancing in Stepney. Optimistically, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up invoiced for extras and still not end up with the service required.

It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Stepney. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Stepney involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of obstruction in Stepney house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Stepney.

How does conveyancing in Stepney differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Stepney come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Stepney usually purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Stepney or who has acted in the same development.

Expecting to sign contracts shortly on a studio apartment in Stepney. Conveyancing solicitors assured me that they are sending me a report next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

What remedies are open the freeholder should you are in breach of your lease terms? You should be advised what constitutes a Nuisance in the lease

My boyfriend is buying a shared ownership flat in Stepney. He was given a quote by the conveyancer suggested by the selling agents and it came to £1300 . It was seven years ago since I sold and bought a home and the fee was £just under six hundred pounds. Have charges really increased to that extent?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance Stepney searches, land registry fees, etc)
