My fiance and I are intent on purchasing a leasehold flat in West Dulwich. My Solicitor is not on the bank conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to appoint my West Dulwich conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One will need to instruct a conveyancer to complete the formalities when you take out a mortgage to purchase your home. The lawyer will conduct all the necessary legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can appoint a West Dulwich conveyancer of your choice. However, where the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the lender conveyancing panel further fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so if your solicitor has not in the past sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I have recently realised that I have 68 years remaining on my lease in West Dulwich. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to track down the lessor. In some cases an enquiry agent would be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering West Dulwich.
