Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dulwich

Some advice if I may. My Dulwich solicitor is informing me me that he is legally obliged toapply for Dulwich conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Is my solicitor right?

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Dulwich conveyancing searches.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Dulwich costs more?

The conveyancing charges for a leasehold premises in Dulwich is frequently higher than on a freehold property. This is because there is an amount of additional time necessary in communicating with the landlord and managing agents to obtain evidence about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been cleared and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for instance in Dulwich?

We are not aware of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.

How does conveyancing in Dulwich differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Dulwich approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Dulwich usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Dulwich or who has acted in the same development.
