Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Penge

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Penge. I would like to know the understand why all Penge conveyancers are not on all bank panels?

Even though it may seem unfair for lenders to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s standpoint, the the contrary view is that lenders are increasingly anxious and consider it essential to defend themselves from mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern lenders have consolidated their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.

I am buying a semi-detached house in Penge. Conveyancing solicitors are said to be ‘a necessary evil’ but can I do it myself?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Penge you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Penge.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Penge took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am buying a new build flat in Penge. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Penge

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Penge in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Penge. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Should I appoint a Penge conveyancing solicitor based in the vicinity that I am purchasing? An old friend can perform the conveyancing however her office is approximately 350kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a local Penge conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were happy that must trump using an unknown Penge conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Penge based.
