I am in the throes of changing my domestic mortgage to a BTL HSBC Bank mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I need a solicitor for this. I got in contact with my past West Dulwich conveyancing firm who who completed the conveyancing when I first bought the house. The pricing estimate provided of £575 plus disbursements has taken me by surprise as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.
The estimate fees seem a bit high. If you you were to look around you may be able to trim some of the cost by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, if you were satisfied with the assistance the firm provided you maylive to rue choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Don't forget to be sure the firm can act for HSBC Bank. You can utilise our search tool to choose a West Dulwich conveyancing firm on the HSBC Bank approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in West Dulwich.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. West Dulwich conveyancing practitioners were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality done the survey? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in West Dulwich. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Georgian property in West Dulwich. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and National Westminster Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in West Dulwich and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in West Dulwich. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

My wife and I may need to sub-let our West Dulwich ground floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a West Dulwich conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in West Dulwich do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I have given up seeking a lease extension in West Dulwich. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
