This site is not designed to help those in their quest for a cheap conveyancing in Southfields. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest.

Our Southfields lawyer has identified a difference when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he must check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance right?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Southfields. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Southfields?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as RBS, do Southfields conveyancers face a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Santander as we wish to conduct alterations to our house in Southfields. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Southfields solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Santander would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander conveyancing panel.
