I plan on purchasing a maisonette in Finsbury Park. My Solicitor is not listed on the bank conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to retain my Finsbury Park conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank approved list?
You will need to appoint a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required if you take out a loan to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. You can instruct a Finsbury Park lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the lender approved list additional charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so if your lawyer has not historically sought membership they can do so.

I just acquired a house at auction in Finsbury Park. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Given that you are now legally bound yourself to purchase you now have to instruct a conveyancing solicitor soon as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. All auction property should have a corresponding auction pack. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer will need. If you have purchased leasehold property the legal papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You must give this to the lawyer working for you ASAP. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
We had chosen solicitors locally in Finsbury Park on the TSB solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional fee for handling the TSB mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by TSB?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by TSB but by your Finsbury Park property lawyer. Some firms on the TSB panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
My fiancee and I are at the point of looking at flats in Finsbury Park and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Skipton.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Finsbury Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Finsbury Park come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Finsbury Park tend to purchase 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Finsbury Park or who has acted in the same development.
I'm refinancing my primary house to a BTL loan with Barnsley Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on further property. The location we are looking at is Finsbury Park. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and tie in the two deals?
Make use of our search tool on this page to be sure that the lawyers are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are the lawyer should be able to tie up the two deals but you should talk with you solicitor and communicate your expectations and needs.
