Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South London

Would the conveyancing solicitors that you recommend execute auction conveyancing in South London?

There are a number of auction solicitors we can put you in touch with those specialising in auction conveyancing. South London is just one of hundreds of locations in which our lawyers cover.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Nationwide Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in South London?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

We are selling our property in South London and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street South London conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in South London. Having lived in South London for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I'm purchasing a new build house in South London with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with Lloyds TSB Bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in South London. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in South London - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can a leaseholder apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a South London conveyancing firm to help?

Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a South London conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a South London premises is Flat B 10 Grove Avenue in October 2013. Following a vesting order Clerkenwell and Shoreditch County Court 3rd July 2013 The tribunal determines that the premium payable for the lease extension was £36,215.00 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 65.21 years.

My wife and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in South London. At the time of instructing our conveyancing practitioner, they told us that they were on all major UK bank panels. Our financial adviser emailed today to say that they are not on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we just find a new lawyer that is on their approved list or should we pay for separate representation, with Bank of Ireland appointing their own approved lawyer.

When acquiring a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the conveyancing practitioner has to satisfy. Some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should contact Bank of Ireland to discover 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 Bank of Ireland's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own South London solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the equation.
