Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Herne Hill

we are a couple who are buying a purpose built flat in Herne Hill with a loan from TSB.We like our Herne Hill conveyancing lawyer but TSB informed us her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a TSB panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for a TSB panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that TSB use our lawyer?

No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the TSB conveyancing panel. Until recently, 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB

I am helping my niece sell her property in Herne Hill. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission the EPC or should I organise this?

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates was kept a compulsory part of selling a property. An EPC must be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. It is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Herne Hill conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established local energy assessors

We are due to move house in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Herne Hill. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent however this should only happen after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Herne Hill or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Herne Hill.

The mortgage over my property is with Coventry BS for my property in Herne Hill. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?

You must advise Coventry BS prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. You need not do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel firm.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Herne Hill concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
