Please could you vouch for a Aldermore sanctioned Hither Green conveyancing practice that can complete within less than a month? Would it be better to use a high street Hither Green practice or a factory type conveyancer?

Visit a couple of firms and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a costs illustration. Discuss your time frames together with your reasons and get an assurance on speed.

I am helping my niece sell her house in Hither Green. Does the solicitor order the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was kept a compulsory component of selling a property. An energy assessment must be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Hither Green conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable Hither Green assessors
We were going to get a OIP from Nationwide this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Hither Green solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Hither Green solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being pedantic. The Hither Green solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
What will a local search inform me about the property my wife and I purchasing in Hither Green?
Hither Green conveyancing often commences with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations such as Searchflow The local search is essential in every Hither Green conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant surprises after you move into your property. The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic areas.
I purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Hither Green. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Hither Green and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Hither Green prior to appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may not give a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Hither Green. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
