My best friend’s sister is a conveyancer. I expect that I will be offered friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Nunhead?
It’s sensible to get 3 or more like-for-like conveyancing quotes. Do use our search tool on this site. The quotes will vary but service levels do are distinct between law firms as is true with most professions.
At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Nunhead and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Nunhead you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Nunhead)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am being told by my lawyer that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Nunhead conveyancing?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I am expecting a DIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Nunhead solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Nunhead solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being difficult. The Nunhead solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Nunhead. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Nunhead - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancer don't lend money. They will be governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who have stringent rules covering monies deposited by them.
