Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Becontree Heath

We are planning to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Becontree Heath with a mortgage. We have a Becontree Heath solicitor, however the lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel firms or retain our Becontree Heath solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We regard this is unjust; can we not require that the mortgage company use our Becontree Heath property lawyer ?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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 Becontree Heath conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Becontree Heath?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Becontree Heath. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I'm purchasing my first flat in Becontree Heath with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it will affect my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Taking into account that I am about to part with 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Becontree Heath I wish to talk to a conveyancer concerning thetransaction in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Becontree Heath.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Becontree Heath should be the figure that you end up paying.

Should I use a Becontree Heath conveyancing practitioner based in the vicinity that I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal work but his firm is located approximately 350miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Becontree Heath conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were happy that should surpass using an unfamiliar Becontree Heath conveyancing solicitor just because they are Becontree Heath based.
