My IFA says he needs my Bexley lawyer’ panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Bexley branch but they don't know it.
Have you tried calling your Bexley conveyancing practitioner about this?. Most Bexley law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
I have just over seventy years unexpired on my lease and need a lease extension for my flat in Bexley. Conveyancing solicitors on the Bank of Ireland panel can deal with such extensions right?
Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are getting a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 17/5/2019 the requirements read as follows :
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Bexley. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Bexley?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Bexley. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
is it true that all Bexley solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the CLC.
We expect to receive a DIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Bexley solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Bexley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
I require quick conveyancing in Bexley as I am under an ultimatum to complete in less than 4 weeks. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

With lots of history conveyancing in Bexley the following are instances of issues that can crop up and therefore affect future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Bexley. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bexley
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Bexley I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bexley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
