We are planning to acquire a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Bromley who is on the Skipton solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Skipton . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Bromley.
Do I have to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Bromley so that I can attend their offices if required.
Whereas this was necessary ten years ago, almost all mortgage companies no longer oblige their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the mortgagors signature. You will still be obliged to supply ID documents and there are still distinct benefits to choosing a local practitioner, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Bromley.
Are all Bromley Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from UBS as we intend to carry out alterations to our property in Bromley. Do we need to select a bricks and mortar Bromley solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
UBS don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS conveyancing panel.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Bromley solicitor - who is on the Santander conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Bromley postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Bromley.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Bromley. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply a car parking plan. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Bromley I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bromley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
