Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Temple

Souldinstructing a Temple conveyancing firm make the legal process smoother?

On the whole conveyancing solicitors in your neck of the woods will benefit from strong alliances with your local authority, which could help with the Temple conveyancing searches that your solicitor will inevitably need. It can only be a plus if they enjoy good relationships with the Land Registry covering your area Temple, other lawyers in the location and Temple selling agents.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the UBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Temple?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Temple. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Temple?

On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Temple. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Temple conveyancing practitioner on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Co-operative 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 Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, 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 Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Co-operative mortgage has been paid off.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Temple. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.
