We previously selected conveyancing lawyers located in Parsons Green on the Santander solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Santander?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Santander but by your Parsons Green solicitor. Some firms on the Santander panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am purchasing a property in Parsons Green. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Co-operative your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Co-operative where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Parsons Green.
My fiancee and I are in the process of viewing apartments in Parsons Green and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with Skipton.
It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Should our solicitor be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Parsons Green.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Parsons Green. Some people will buy a property in Parsons Green, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Parsons Green. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the seller to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s solicitors may also conduct an enviro search. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.
Me and my brother own a renovated Georgian property in Parsons Green. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Alliance & Leicester . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Parsons Green is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
