The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Are you able to recommend a National Westminster Bank allowed Dulwich conveyancing firm who can have us moved in within under 3 weeks? Would it be better to use a high street Dulwich practice or a national firm?
We can recommend some very good Dulwich conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the main road in Dulwich. Approach two or three firms and request to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Discuss your time frames together with your reasons and ask for an assurance on speed. Appoint the lawyer that you are most comfortable with.
I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Dulwich for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Dulwich conveyancing specialists.
I am buying a new build flat in Dulwich. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Dulwich is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Dulwich are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Dulwich you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dulwich may determine 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.
