My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Fulham. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Barclays Direct approved list of lawyers. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should e-mail your lawyer and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can call Barclays Direct who may be able to help.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Fulham?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Fulham. 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…’
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Fulham. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Fulham
-
Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Fulham ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to give a loan on this type of property.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we use their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Fulham
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Fulham conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
