I am acquiring a new build apartment in Blackheath and my solicitor is telling me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and my preference is not to delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions.

Having sold my house in Blackheath last February yet the purchaser is whats apping me complaining that her lawyer needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

Following your sale your lawyer is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor must also evidence that the home loan has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Blackheath.

We previously chose solicitors located in Blackheath on the Virgin Money solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for dealing with the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Virgin Money?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Blackheath solicitor. Numerous firms on the Virgin Money panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

We were going to get a OIP from HSBC this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do HSBC recommend any Blackheath solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Blackheath solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.

My offer was accepted on a property in Blackheath on 15/1/2026, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Leeds Building Society and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Are Leeds Building Society entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
