I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Santander. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Blackheath. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
My solicitor has informed me that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Blackheath conveyancing?
The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
How can we tell if a Blackheath conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Blackheath getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

My partner and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Co-operative as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Blackheath. Are we obliged to select a local Blackheath solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Co-operative don't usually appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when buying a property in Blackheath? or I am told that there is historic law that means some owners of property living in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Blackheath?
Unless a prior purchase of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect conveyancing practitioners conducting conveyancing in Blackheath to continue to propose a a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Blackheath is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Blackheath are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Blackheath you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Blackheath may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
