Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Charing Cross

Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Charing Cross. My lender is Chelsea Building Society

Chelsea Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 8/10/2025, the requirements read as follows :

Can you help - my lawyer says that lack of right of way insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Charing Cross conveyancing?

The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Charing Cross off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have 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 Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Charing Cross on 14/8/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Are RBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I require fast conveyancing in Charing Cross as I am faced with a deadline to sign on the dotted line in less than 2 weeks. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

If.Given you are are a cash purchaser you are at liberty not to have searches carried out although no solicitor would recommend that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Charing Cross the following are examples of issues that can arise and adversely affect the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Charing Cross 5 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

As long as you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your house and get current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.

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 simple, no chain conveyancing. Charing Cross is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Charing Cross are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Charing Cross you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Charing Cross may decide 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 property.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
