Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barnes

I instructed a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Barnes yesterday. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based conveyancing company promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Barnes?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract those cases that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that such promotions generally do not protect you from outlay by way of example Barnes conveyancing search costs.

My husband and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in Barnes with Clydesdale. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his rights to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Clydesdale. This is solely used to protect Clydesdale if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Clydesdale had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

We're in Barnes, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is TSB , and our lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Barnes 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?

Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will know exactly where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you may buy or sell your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.
