I am under pressure from the seller of a property in Tooting to complete within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?
In a situation where you are under time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will make use of local contacts and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they would have transacted previoushouses in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Tooting conveyancing firm. In addition, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is claimed that nearly one in five of Tooting conveyancing transactions are suspended or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being held up by almost 21 days. It is said that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home moves annually. Many Tooting conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
We are aiming to move home in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Tooting. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent but this can only happen once the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Tooting or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Tooting.
We had selected solicitors with offices in Tooting on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Nationwide but by your Tooting conveyancer. Some firms on the Nationwide panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
We were going to get a AIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Tooting solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Tooting solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
I require expedited conveyancing in Tooting as I am faced with an ultimatum to complete within one month. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Tooting?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Tooting. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am buying a new build house in Tooting benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it may impact my mortgage with TSB. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
