What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Sanderstead

Two types of professional can perform conveyancing in Sanderstead namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals handle conveyancing services that required to complete the disposal or purchase of property. Both are duty bound to perform Sanderstead conveyancing to the same quality and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that the requisite procedures should be suitably taken.

About to purchase maisonette in Sanderstead. 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 Bank of Ireland 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 Sanderstead solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Sanderstead with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it will affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Sanderstead is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Sanderstead are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sanderstead you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sanderstead may decide 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.

My business partner and I are planning to lease a unit on the high street. Can you recommend lawyers offering no-sale-no costs for commercial conveyancing in Sanderstead for under 2k?
