Recently asked questions about conveyancing in West Dulwich

I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in West Dulwich. I have resided for the previous 15 years in West Dulwich. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the West Dulwich conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it could be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes premises with apparent issues can still throw up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in West Dulwich should provide you some helpful guidance in this regard.

Are all West Dulwich Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the TSB conveyancing list of approved practices?

It is true that some lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

We have agreed to purchase a house in West Dulwich. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender RBS be concerned?

Given that your lender is RBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to West Dulwich.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in West Dulwich off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the main cause of obstruction in West Dulwich conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in West Dulwich.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in West Dulwich ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may not give a mortgage on this type of property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in West Dulwich.
