Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Wormwood Scrubs costs more?
Wormwood Scrubs leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving applicable notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.
I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Wormwood Scrubs conveyancer on the TSB panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your TSB mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
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 Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays 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 lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
TSB have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Wormwood Scrubs has been agreed to, now what?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Telephone TSB or your financial adviser and finalise any relevant paperwork. TSB will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. TSB will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Wormwood Scrubs.
I have recentlydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Wormwood Scrubs for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Wormwood Scrubs differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Wormwood Scrubs contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Wormwood Scrubs tend to buy the land, 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 Wormwood Scrubs or who has acted in the same development.
