Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Brockley

I can't travel far from Brockley. I would like to know the understand why all Brockley conveyancers aren't automatically on all lender panels?

As unjust as it may seem for banks to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or lawyer’s viewpoint, the other side of the coin is that banks are increasingly anxious and consider it vital to defend themselves from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern banks have restricted their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.

I have 71 years remaining on my lease and require a lease extension for my flat in Brockley. Conveyancing solicitors on the Virgin panel can deal with such extensions correct?

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Virgin have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 17/8/2026 the requirements read as follows :

We are purchasing a house in Brockley. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we have to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

We had appointed conveyancers with offices in Brockley on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional sum for handling the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Brockley conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Brockley off the council. I have a mortgage offer with HSBC. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

My partner and I are selling our home in Brockley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Brockley. We have lived in Brockley for six 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 would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 sickness)

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Brockley. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Brockley

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Brockley. I have land on a site which appears to be the ideal solution If there is a chance to get all formalities done via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
