I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I hope to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Shoreditch. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
The housing market in Shoreditch is hotting up. What can I do to hasten the conveyancing process?
In the event that the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and knowledge. It is possible that they may have transacted previoushouses in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Shoreditch conveyancing firm. Second, be sure that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is said that just under twenty per cent of Shoreditch conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being delayed by almost 21 days. It is understood that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales every year. Most Shoreditch conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
Me and my brother have a semi-detached Georgian property in Shoreditch. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Shoreditch and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Shoreditch ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of house.
