Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crawley Down

I am thinking of refinancing my apartment in Crawley Down, does my lawyer need to be on the Nationwide Solicitor panel?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nationwide will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

I am buying a property in Crawley Down. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Principality be concerned?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Crawley Down.

My offer was accepted on a property in Crawley Down on 11/6/2026, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

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

Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Crawley Down solicitor - who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Crawley Down postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Crawley Down.

Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the primary reason for obstruction in Crawley Down conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Crawley Down.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Crawley Down?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Crawley Down. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I have been advised by numerous property agents in Crawley Down to locate a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My partner and I soon to exchange buying a property in Crawley Down but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have negotiated reparation from the seller of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the mortgage company will not permit this. Why were they notified?

The property lawyer listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to the bank of any variations to the sale price. If you did not allow your solicitor to notify the price change to your lender then they would have to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the bank.
