I am buying residence in Stoke Newington. My Conveyancer is not listed on the bank conveyancing list. Can I still appoint my Stoke Newington conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have a number of choices available to you here
- Proceed with your existing Stoke Newington conveyancer but your mortgage company will no doubt appoint a solicitor on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees together with probable delay.
- Get a fresh property lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to do everything within their powers to join the bank’s conveyancing panel
My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Stoke Newington and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
Your property lawyer is obliged to check with lender to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Stoke Newington , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Stoke Newington conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Stoke Newington is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not always top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
