Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wanstead

It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Wanstead. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with your lender or they could stored with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Wanstead involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Wanstead. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list of lawyers. Could you help?

You should phone the lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please call The Royal Bank of Scotland who may be able to assist.

How does conveyancing in Wanstead differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Wanstead contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Wanstead typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Wanstead or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Wanstead I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired 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 acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Wanstead

It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Wanstead conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.

Is it possible for you to recommend a solicitor for conveyancing in Wanstead (or a few miles around that area)? It’s is for a remortgage.My husband and I did have one selected but just discovered that are not on the panel for Santander.

The purpose of this site is limited to being a directory service for conveyancing practitioners who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Santander in certain locations for instance Wanstead . We dont recommend any specific conveyancer.
