It has come to my attention via my financial adviser that my Penge solicitor is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to check?

Your first step should be to call your Penge conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.

I am assisting my sister sell her house in Penge. Does the solicitor arrange an EPC or should I organise this?

After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was left as a compulsory component of selling a house. An EPC should be to hand before the property is advertised. This is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Penge conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable Penge energy assessors

Is it the case that all Penge solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I currently have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Penge. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending 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 Co-operative?

Co-operative must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative 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 Co-operative directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel lawyer.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Penge is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Penge are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Penge you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Penge may decide 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.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to choosing a Penge conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?

When appointing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Penge conveyancing practice) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you make enquires with several firms including non Penge conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be useful:

    Can they put you in touch with clients in Penge who can give a testimonial? If they are not ALEP accredited then why not?

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Penge conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Penge premises is Flats 5, 9, 38 & 40 Blakewood Court Anerley Park in January 2012. the tribunal held that the premiums payable for the new lease sare: FLAT 5:- £7,130 FLAT 9:- £7,860 FLAT 38:- £15,867 FLAT 40: £14,834 This case affected 4 flats.

My step-father completed his conveyancing in Penge ten years ago. He has got wed, divorced and has recently remarried. He now wants to the sell the Penge property. I think he will just be asked to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the conveyancer however he is anxious it could delay the sale of the apartment. Should he appoint a lawyer to update the land title details for the property?

The is no need to bring up to date the title for the property providing you have the evidence needed to demonstrate how the name change resulted.

Any purchaser’s conveyancing practitioner should review the title details and requisition evidence to establish the change of name for instance marriage documentation.
