Is the fact that my solicitor in Tottenham Green is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Tottenham Green conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
I moved into my apartment on 3 November and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Tottenham Green said it would be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Tottenham Green uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Tottenham Green registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Tottenham Green differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tottenham Green approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Tottenham Green tend to acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Tottenham Green or who has acted in the same development.
