My friend's dad is a solicitor. I expect that I will receive friends and family rates for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Nunhead?
It’s a good idea to seek two or three conveyancing estimates. Do use our comparison tool on this site. Whilst charges do be different but service levels do are distinct between conveyancers as is the case with most professions.

Is there a list of UBS panel solicitors in Nunhead on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings open the public online.

My partner and I are spending time looking at houses in Nunhead and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a lawyer appointed at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Barclays.
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 forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Barclays, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I currently have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Nunhead. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish 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 Aldermore?
Your original mortgage agreement with Aldermore will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Aldermore 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 Aldermore directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Nunhead is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Nunhead are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Nunhead you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nunhead may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Taking into account that I will soon spend over three hundred thousand on a two bedroom apartment in Nunhead I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thehome move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
This is something that we recommend - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Nunhead.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Nunhead should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
I am contemplating appointing an online solicitor as opposed to a Nunhead conveyancing firm. Any advice?
Various benefits exist in having the option visit a local Nunhead conveyancing solicitor for instance
- signing documents same day
- getting one on one explanations of things that need explaining
- the ability to complain if things are not going as expected
When analysing quotes, look out for hidden extras. The majority decent Nunhead high street solicitors give an all-inclusive price. Often online companies seem to offer low cost prices, but have hidden 'extras' in the fine print.
