I am not well enough to travel far from Wallington. What is the rationale as to why all Wallington conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Banks normally impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the organisation must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the nature of firm, some lenders decided to restrict the size of their panel they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that building societies have no liability for the quality of advice supplied by any Wallington solicitor on their panel. Mortgage fraud was the primary trigger for the rationalisation of solicitor panels in the last decade even though there are contrary thoughts concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicates that thousands of conveyancing practices only transact less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a bank panel when it is evident that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented flat in Wallington by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice for your letting until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, contact to your lawyer and request that they cajole the owners side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work to achieve
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Wallington I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wallington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £450,000 garden flat in Wallington on Friday in a week. The management company has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Wallington?
Wallington conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not involves the buyer’s conveyancer submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to such questions the majority will be content to assist. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is above £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have little option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to sell the property.
