My mortgage broker says he needs my Tolworth law firm’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have tried my local Tolworth office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried calling your Tolworth solicitor about this?. Most Tolworth law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Tolworth and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Tolworth lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tolworth. We have lived in Tolworth for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
About to purchase a new build apartment in Tolworth. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Tolworth is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Tolworth are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tolworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Tolworth 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 premises.
As co-executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a property in Swansea but live in Tolworth. My solicitor (based 200 miles awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration before completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Tolworth to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Tolworth based
There are a number of properties in Tolworth on unadopted roads. We are acquiring one such house. What would be the pros and cons of buying a property on a privately owned road?
Tolworth conveyancing firms will be used to transacting houseson private. The lawyer should review the Land Registry data to identify any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents pay into for the upkeep of the road. Where one exists, the road will likely be maintained and look nicer than council owned.
