we are a couple who wish to acquire a newly converted apartment in Bromley with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We like our Bromley conveyancing lawyer but The Royal Bank of Scotland informed us she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland
Will my lawyer be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Bromley.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Bromley. There are those who purchase a property in Bromley, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Bromley. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s lawyers may also commission an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Bromley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as normal given that all rents and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Bromley conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
Where there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the premium.

Why am I unable to complete my conveyancing in Bromley on a public holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the sale price needs to pass between the banks of the buyer and seller's lawyer and at present this can only occur on a working day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
