My wife and I are intent on purchasing property in Brockley. My lawyer is not on the bank approved list. Is it possible for me to continue with my Brockley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
One must have a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the formalities if you require a loan to buy your property. They will conduct all the necessary due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in order. You can instruct a Brockley lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the lawyer selected is not a member of the mortgage company approved list further charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should do so.
I am buying a house for cash in Brockley. I have been residing for the last Seventeen years in Brockley. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then the vast majority of the Brockley conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it may be of importance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. On occasion properties with apparent issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Brockley should provide you some constructive guidance in this regard.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Brockley I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brockley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
