What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Hoxton

There are two types of lawyers who can conduct conveyancing in Hoxton namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can administer the legal services that you need to complete the disposal or purchase of property. They are both duty bound to conduct Hoxton conveyancing on similar quality and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that the requisite steps should be suitably attended to.

We are planning to move home in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Hoxton. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this website.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent but this can only happen when the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Hoxton or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Hoxton.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Hoxton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender TSB be concerned?

As your lender is TSB your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Hoxton.

I got the keys to my apartment on 4 March and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Hoxton expressed confidence that it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Hoxton particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Hoxton is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Hoxton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hoxton

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

I was recommended by a couple of local selling agents in Hoxton to select a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your services rather than another?

We refuse to offer any commission for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
