Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South Wimbledon

My fiance and I are looking to acquire a property in South Wimbledon and have instructed a South Wimbledon conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Barclays Direct have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our South Wimbledon conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred South Wimbledon lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in South Wimbledon. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may stored with the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in South Wimbledon involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather appoint a South Wimbledon based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank to determine if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near South Wimbledon.

My wife and I are buying a flat in South Wimbledon. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

I currently have a mortgage with HSBC for my property in South Wimbledon. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform HSBC?

Your original mortgage agreement with HSBC will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. It may be that HSBC will allow you to rent 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 HSBC directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel firm.

Planning on purchasing a flat in South Wimbledon. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the South Wimbledon solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

Just bought a semi-detached house in South Wimbledon , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My South Wimbledon conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are concluded.

As far as conveyancing in South Wimbledon registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my aunt I am selling a house in Cardiff but live in South Wimbledon. My conveyancer (approximately 260 kilometers awayrequires that I execute a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in South Wimbledon to witness this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are South Wimbledon based
