Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stockwell

A mortgage offer from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 3 bedroom maisonette is due within the next few days. Are you able to suggest a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Stockwell?

You have arrived at the wrong site to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Stockwell. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing companies offering the bait of £99 conveyancing in Stockwell. In your best case scenario, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst you will end up being stung for extras and still not receive the service expected.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Stockwell. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?

Given that you are now to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should instruct a conveyancing lawyer soon as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property should have a bespoke auction set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer requires. If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You need to hand this to the solicitor working for you ASAP. Do make sure that you have funds organised to complete on the date specified in the contract.

Can you point me to a directory of Co-operative panel conveyancers in Stockwell on the Building Society Association’s Website?

No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings available online. Where you are looking for a Stockwell solicitor on the Co-operative please use our facility.

Is it the case that all Stockwell conveyancing solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of obstruction in Stockwell conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Stockwell.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Stockwell concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 asset 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.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Stockwell

We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Stockwell conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.
