In the event thatI was to acquire a simple residential homein South East London mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in South East London?
Any savings you would make would be isolated to the costs for searches. A lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage however it won't be meaningful.
We are aiming to move home in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in South East London. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this can only occur when the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. After that you can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in South East London or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in South East London.
I am the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in South East London. The South East London property was put into my name in September. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
My husband and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Skipton as we wish to conduct renovations to our property in South East London. Do we need to select a local South East London solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Skipton don't usually require a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in South East London. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all ground rent and service charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I acquired a house in South East London last 17/9/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with HM Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my lawyer told me that it can take 12 months to complete the registration formalities. I have spoken with the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Should I be concerned?
It is your solicitor that you should contact in order to satisfy any questions which have been raised as part of the registration process for your South East London property. Normal South East London conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the seller's solicitor that they will help resolve any requisition raised by HMLR so it may be a case of seeking to enforce that undertaking if necessary.
