My husband and I are intent on purchasing property in Woodford Green. My Conveyancer has never been on on the bank approved list. Is it possible for me to retain my Woodford Green conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to have a property lawyer to complete the formalities when you need a mortgage to buy your home. The conveyancing practitioner will carry out all the necessary investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. One could select a Woodford Green conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the bank solicitor panel supplemental fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they should do so.
When can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Woodford Green and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Woodford Green you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Woodford Green)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We intend to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Woodford Green with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We have a Woodford Green conveyancing practitioner but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society informed us his firm is not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel firm or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society

I purchased my apartment on 11 May and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Woodford Green advises it should be dealt with inside ten days. Are transfers in Woodford Green particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Woodford Green registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property so 'speed' is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Why do Woodford Green conveyancing costs differ for leasehold and freehold properties?
If acquiring a leasehold property there is more work involved purely due to the fact that usually there are further parties involved in the form of the freeholder and/or Management Agents. As part of a lawyers enquiries they will check that all ground rent and service charges are paid up to date amongst other general leasehold matters. For this reason, the Sellers lawyers usually have to refer to the freeholder or Managing Agent for their replies to our questions. This may be time consuming and beyond the lawyers control
