What does a local search inform me concerning the house we're purchasing in Dulwich?
Dulwich conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search plays a central role in many a Dulwich conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty once you have moved into your new home.

I got the keys to my house on 14 April and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Dulwich advises it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Dulwich uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Dulwich registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises so registration formalities is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Dulwich is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Dulwich are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Dulwich you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dulwich 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 premises.

I pay a service charge for my first floor flat in Dulwich. Due to losing my job and personal issues I fell into arrears with payments. I negotiated a payment schedule but there remains around £2000 remaining in arrears.
I want to sell and I am panicking this could hold me back if I have to discharge the arrears now. I'd like to sell up and then discharge the debt from the completion monies - is this achievable?
Do speak with the conveyancer handling your Dulwich conveyancing but one option could be to agree for the outstanding amount to be attributed to the buyers. The contractual price due would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then deal with the outstanding monies following completion of the sale.
