Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Nine Elms. What is the rationale as to why all Nine Elms conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a organisation must have at least two partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some lenders decided to restrict the size of their panel they permit to represent them. It is worth noting that building societies have no liability for the standard of advice supplied by any Nine Elms lawyer on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was the main trigger for the reduction of conveyancing panels in the last decade even though there are opposing thoughts concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data published by HMLR reveal that thousands of law practices only transact less than three conveyances annually. Those supporting conveyancing panel pruning ask why law firms should have claim to be listed on a bank panel when it is evident that conveyancing is not their speciality?

I am selling our house in Nine Elms and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Nine Elms conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Nine Elms. Having lived in Nine Elms for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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)
How does conveyancing in Nine Elms differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Nine Elms approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Nine Elms usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Nine Elms or who has acted in the same development.

I work for a long established estate agency in Nine Elms where we have experienced a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Nine Elms conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
Having spent years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Nine Elms. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Nine Elms conveyancing firm who can help.
