I am considering applying for a HSBC mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Sidcup with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for HSBC ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but HSBC will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
How does conveyancing in Sidcup differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Sidcup come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Sidcup usually acquire the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Sidcup or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Sidcup I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sidcup suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Sidcup being on the bank conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the bank approved panel?

For example you may require a local firm with Sidcup knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
