I am acquiring property in Cheam. My lawyer is not on the bank solicitor list. Am I still permitted to retain my Cheam conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company approved list?
You will need to use a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required when you take out a loan to buy your home. The property lawyer will conduct all the appropriate investigations on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in order. You can instruct a Cheam conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. However, where the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company approved list further costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not historically sought membership they can do so.

I have todaydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Cheam for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The primary upside of using a high street Cheam conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were content that should outweigh using an unknown Cheam conveyancing lawyer just because they are Cheam based.
I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Cheam. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all rents and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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.
