We decided to go with a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in East Dulwich last week. Reviewing the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am on the hook for charges even if the movefalls through. Should I go with them or use a web based lawyer promising no completion no cost conveyancing in East Dulwich?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset the transactions that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these promotions rarely protect you from disbursements such as East Dulwich conveyancing search fees.
I have Fifty Six years left on my lease and require a lease extension for my flat in East Dulwich. Conveyancing solicitors on the Bank of Ireland panel can deal with such extensions right?
Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are getting a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 3/1/2026 the requirements read as follows :
I have been told that property searches are a common reason for delay in East Dulwich conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in East Dulwich.
I'm purchasing a new build house in East Dulwich benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I decided to have a survey completed on a property in East Dulwich in advance of retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in East Dulwich.
