I have just been advised by my lender that my Norbury the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?
You need to contact your Norbury lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Norbury conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
I am hoping to move into my new home in Norbury next Thursday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the bank. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?
Any lawyer on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 instructions. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Norbury.
My partner and I are intent on selling our home in Norbury and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Norbury. We have lived in Norbury for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Norbury before retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend not grant a loan on this type of house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you e-mail us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Norbury.
