Do I have to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Chelsea so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.
These days approved lawyers for lenders conduct all of the communications through Royal Mail, e-mail or over phone calls.

My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Chelsea. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Chelsea and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I am buying my first flat in Chelsea with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it may impact my loan with Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am purchasing a maisonette with all finances in place. My solicitor has been supplied with with 2 distinct proof of photographic identification, bank statement, multiple utility bills. Now he requires a copy from a probate lawyer advising that the funds are legitimate and that it has come from inheritance and not selling fake DVD.
In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Chelsea conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill.

Evidence of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering laws.
