Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wilton

I am considering applying for a HSBC mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Wilton with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for HSBC ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but HSBC will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

We are planning to move property in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Wilton. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this website.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your estate agent but this should only happen when the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Wilton or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Wilton.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Bank of Ireland, do Wilton conveyancers incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Wilton. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

How does conveyancing in Wilton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Wilton contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Wilton typically buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wilton or who has acted in the same development.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Wilton with the intention of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Wilton can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers.
    • You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable verify this via your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is less than 75 years. In the circumstances it is important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. If you have had any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as over rather than unsettled. The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Wilton charge for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management pack sought on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Wilton. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Wilton leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. If you dont have the paperwork in place you should not contact the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance.

Wilton Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Queries Prior to Purchasing

    Who is in charge of the block? It is important to be aware if redecorating or some other major work is anticipated to be shared by the tenants and could well dramatically impact the level of the maintenance charges or require a specific invoice. Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge payments?

I'm purchasing a bungalow in Wilton. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?

Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
