Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Charlton

My IFA has asked me for my Charlton law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Charlton office but they have not responded to me.

Have you tried calling your Charlton lawyer about this?. Most Charlton conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.

I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Charlton. I have lived for the last 15 years in Charlton. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the Charlton conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do take into account; if you are going to sell the house one day, it will be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where houses with no practical issues can still reveal unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Charlton should provide you some helpful guidance concerning this.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Charlton conveyancing lawyers were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale conducted the valuation? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

We were going to get a AIP from HSBC this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do HSBC recommend any Charlton solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Charlton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Charlton. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Charlton 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

You no longer need to have the physical original deeds to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Charlton is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Charlton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Charlton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Charlton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Charlton and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to commercial tenants, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act to your advantage and assist with commercial conveyancing in Charlton
