My husband and I wish to acquire a 1 bedroom flat in Kingston Vale with a residential mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We use our Kingston Vale conveyancing solicitor but Godiva Mortgages Ltd says his firm is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Godiva Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd

I have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Kingston Vale. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Skipton?
You must advise Skipton prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel lawyer.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Kingston Vale. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Kingston Vale solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Kingston Vale
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Kingston Vale conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

What are the frequently found defects that you witness in leases for Kingston Vale properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Kingston Vale. All leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain clauses are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the property Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
You could have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Barclays , Coventry Building Society, and Britannia all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.
