Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wanstead

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Wanstead is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters 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. Where you are concerned you should contact the Wanstead conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

A relative informed me that in buying a property in Wanstead there could be a number of restrictions prohibiting external changes to a property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Wanstead which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Wanstead should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

Can I be sure that the Wanstead conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Wanstead getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Wanstead. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Shortly after, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may affect a commercial site in Wanstead?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Wanstead will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Wanstead. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Wanstead.

Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could cause delays to Wanstead commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Wanstead.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Wanstead I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wanstead in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
