My friend's brother is a property lawyer. I hope that I'll be able to get preferential rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Old Ford?

I am buying a house without a mortgage in Old Ford. I have lived for the previous dozen years in Old Ford. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Old Ford conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to take that path of advice. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it will be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches determine. On occasion houses with functional issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Old Ford will provide you some constructive guidance here.

We are hoping to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Old Ford with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We would like to retain our Old Ford conveyancing practitioner but Accord Mortgages Ltd advised that she’s not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Accord Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd

How does conveyancing in Old Ford differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Old Ford come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Old Ford tend to purchase the site, 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 Old Ford or who has acted in the same development.
