I am in need of a property lawyer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer as opposed to a high street Warlingham conveyancing solicitor?
Generally conveyancing solicitors in your location will benefit from excellent alliances with your local authority, which can help with your Warlingham conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will require on your transaction. It also helps if they enjoy strong rapport with the Land Registry overseeing your area Warlingham, other property lawyers in the neighbourhood and Warlingham Estate Agents.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Santander are being pedantic. The Warlingham solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Santander are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Intending to buy a house in Warlingham. 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 Barclays 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 Warlingham solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

Your estate agent will need to be informed of your lawyer's details (make sure the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Call up Co-operative or your broker and finish off any appropriate forms.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to get a mortgage offer. Co-operative will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Warlingham.
Have completed on a a detached house in Warlingham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Warlingham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Warlingham is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Warlingham is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Warlingham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Warlingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Warlingham may determine 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 residence.
I have recently realised that I have Seventy years left on my lease in Warlingham. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to locate the lessor. On the whole an enquiry agent may be helpful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document to be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Warlingham.
