We instructed a local firm for our conveyancing in Pentonville recently. Upon checking the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are responsible for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or select an on-line lawyer advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Pentonville?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to neutralise the conveyances that abort. Do bear in mind that such promotions generally do not protect you from expenditure for example Pentonville conveyancing search expenses.
Our conveyancer has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Pentonville. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our property lawyer says that he must ensure that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender requirements must be adhered to.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Pentonville 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware exactly where to find all the appropriate paperwork so you can purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. If copies can’t be located, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Pentonville before appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks will not issue a mortgage on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Pentonville.

Should I be wary that third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Pentonville conveyancing company?
As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be most helpful. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to select your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
