I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Fulham off the council. I have a mortgage offer with RBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Fulham. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
Yorkshire BS must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. You need not do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel firm.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Fulham on 10/4/2026, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Santander and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Are Santander entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
We are buying a property and the lawyer has identified Chancel Repair to which the property could be obligated to pay given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has recommended insurance. Is this strictly required for conveyancing in Fulham
Unless a previous acquisition of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you may take it that solicitors delivering conveyancing in Fulham to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Fulham?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Fulham. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am in the process of purchasing my first property in Fulham. Conveyancing solicitor already appointed. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed 22 years ago.
You would be well advised to take a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was constructed over a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may suffice. They will highlight any obvious issues and suggest further investigation where relevant. Where there are any signs of material issues seek a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
