We are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Upney but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet UBS will not permit this. Why were they involved?

Your solicitor being on a UBS approved list is duty bound to advise UBS of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the reduction to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Upney.

Do I have to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Upney so that I can attend their offices if required.

Whereas this was necessary 15 years ago, most mortgage companies no longer need their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the borrowers signature. It will still be necessary for you to provide identification documents and there are still manifest advantages to choosing a local ayer, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Upney.

I completed on my apartment on 14 August and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Upney advises it would be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Upney particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Upney registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Upney I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Upney for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I am thinking of appointing a conveyancing practitioner in Upney for my purchase. Is it possible to review a firm’s record with the legal regulator?
