Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Anerley

is it true that all Anerley solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the RBS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

We were going to get a AIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Anerley solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Anerley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.

Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Anerley solicitor - who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Anerley postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Anerley.

I am purchasing a house and the lawyer has mentioned Chancel Repair for which the house may be obligated to pay given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has mentioned insurance. Is this strictly appropriate for conveyancing in Anerley

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Anerley in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will not give a loan on this type of premises.

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

Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Anerley conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Anerley premises is Flats 55, 67 & 70 Melbourne Court Anerley Road in July 2013. The tribunal calculated that the premium for the extended lease at £48,366.00 for at 55, and £88,329.00 for ats 67 and 70 combined. This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 26.38 years.

Are there common problems that you witness in leases for Anerley properties?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Anerley. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. A duty to insure the building

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Barclays , The Mortgage Works, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.

We have just discovered that one of the directors of the law firm undertaking the purchase conveyancing in Anerley is an aunty of the vendor. Is this acceptable?

Provided there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. Where you are needing mortgage finance then the bank may have a say as many mortgage companies have specific requirements concerning this. For example for Chelsea Building Society as of 3/3/2026, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, provided that:
* there is no conflict of interest and none arises during the transaction
* the firm is a partnership
* the conveyancer acting is not the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family.
