I can't travel far from Nine Elms. Please clarify why all Nine Elms lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?
Mortgage Companies normally impose restrictions on either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that the practice is required to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some have decided to reduce the size of their panel they permit to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of conveyancing given by any Nine Elms solicitor on their approved list. Property fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are contrary points of view concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR indicates that thousands of conveyancing firms only carry out one or two conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts question why law firms should have claim to remain on a lender panel when it is apparent that property law is not their speciality?
Should conveyancers request money on account for conveyancing in Nine Elms?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Nine Elms your lawyer will request that you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is payable against the sale price then this will be needed immediately before contracts are exchanged.

I am selling our house in Nine Elms and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Nine Elms. Having lived in Nine Elms for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
My cousin has recommend that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Nine Elms. Do I take his advice?
No doubt the ideal way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek recommendations from friends or family who have experience in using the firm you're contemplating using.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Nine Elms. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Nine Elms - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
