Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Herne Hill

I am considering applying for a Principality mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Herne Hill with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Principality ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Principality conveyancing panel, but Principality would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

We are purchasing a end of terrace house in Herne Hill. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these alterations are prohibited?

Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Herne Hill can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of works or require the permission of another owner. Some extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

is it true that all Herne Hill solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the CLC.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Herne Hill on 11/8/2026, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to TSB and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Are TSB entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

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

I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of hinderance in Herne Hill house deals. Is this right?

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Herne Hill from the point of view of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Herne Hill can be reduced if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives.
    • If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Arranging a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy formality and slows down many a Herne Hill home move. If a reissued share certificate is required, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have had any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing. Many freeholders or Management Companies in Herne Hill charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Herne Hill.
