AssumingI were to acquire a simple residential housein Kingston Vale mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Kingston Vale?

The only saving you would achieve is the disbursement for searches.

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Kingston Vale for our home move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Alliance & Leicester won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

Before the recession most lenders had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Kingston Vale conveyancing firms would have been on many lender panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more data from law firms about their operations and their employees and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of transactions. Many Kingston Vale conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Kingston Vale is amongst the numerous areas where the lawyers we recommend are are authorised to act for Alliance & Leicester .

We expect to receive a AIP from HSBC 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 HSBC recommend any Kingston Vale solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

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

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Kingston Vale. I have a mortgage agreed 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 Barclays for my property in Kingston Vale. Conveyancing was finalised months 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 Barclays?

You must advise Barclays in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Barclays 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 Barclays directly. You need not do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel lawyer.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Kingston Vale?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Kingston Vale. 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…’
