We are about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Nine Elms. We encountered a snag. The mortgage offer with Nationwide Building Society expires on 29/7/2026 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 31/7/2026. Can one prolong the loan offer?
The best person to address this issue is your conveyancer who should determine if he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage broker, owner’s conveyancers, selling agents or conceivably all three taking into account the circumstances your house move to date.

I am due to move property in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Nine Elms. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your selling agent however this can only be done when the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. After that you should advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Nine Elms or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Nine Elms.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Nine Elms is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Nine Elms are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Nine Elms you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nine Elms may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Nine Elms. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Nine Elms - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.

When it comes to my conveyancing in Nine Elms should I be paying VAT on the following: (1) Land reg fee on purchase (2) Pre - completion search fee (3) SDLT E submission on purchase (4) Bank TT fee
(1) Land reg fee on purchase - No (2) Pre - completion search fees -No, (such conveyancing searches are HMLR ones and means £4 and possibly £2 bankruptcy per name on your mortgage) (3) SDLT E submission on your purchase - There is no VAT on Stamp Duty. However if the firm is charging a stamp duty e-submission fee as part of their services - some Nine Elms conveyancers do - that will incur VAT(4) Bank transfer fee - Yes it is for the property lawyer's time in submitting the funds this way.
