I chose a Wormwood Scrubs based firm for my conveyancing in Wormwood Scrubs recently. Looking through the terms of engagement I seeI am liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct an on-line conveyancing company advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Wormwood Scrubs?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to neutralise those transactions that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that such arrangements generally do not cover disbursements for instance Wormwood Scrubs conveyancing search costs.
I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Wormwood Scrubs. The Wormwood Scrubs property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
My wife and I are in the process of looking at flats in Wormwood Scrubs and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with UBS.
It would be prudent to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with UBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Wormwood Scrubs. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wormwood Scrubs conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

Should one as executor remove a departed person's name from the title deeds for a house in Wormwood Scrubs?
Where a Wormwood Scrubs property is co-owned and one of the proprietors dies, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a sale your lawyer would just need to evidence why the co proprietor is missing from the transfer, such as a grant of probate.
With a view to making things smoother for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased person removed from the title by applying to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
