I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Camberwell. I have a mortgage offer with Barclays. Conveyancing is new to me. 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 Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Camberwell differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Camberwell approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Camberwell typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Camberwell or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Camberwell I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Camberwell suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

We have chosen a Camberwell conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have picked up in the Ts and Cs that they are not regulated by the FCA. Am I right to be worried or is that standard with conveyancing practitioner?

We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. They should be governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set strict obligations covering monies deposited on client account.
