My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Lambeth. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should call your solicitor and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please get in touch with Bank of Scotland who may be able to assist.
We are planning to move house in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Lambeth. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only happen when the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. After that you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Lambeth or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Lambeth.
I'm at the point of looking at houses in Lambeth and I am about to put in an offer. Is it best to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a home loan with Nottingham.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Nottingham, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Lambeth. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
You must advise Clydesdale prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will allow you to rent 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 Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel firm.
I require expedited conveyancing in Lambeth as I have a deadline to exchange contracts within 4 weeks. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

With plenty of history conveyancing in Lambeth the following are instances of issues that can be revealed and adversely affect future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Lambeth before retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to issue a loan on this type of home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can look into this further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Lambeth.
