Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South Wimbledon

How up to date is your database of South Wimbledon solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? Do Nationwide send you an updated list?

South Wimbledon conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nationwide directly.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in South Wimbledon?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I'm buying my first flat in South Wimbledon with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it could affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in South Wimbledon I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in South Wimbledon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

We are 18 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in South Wimbledon. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

If so you need to make them aware of the new contact details and have the loan are issued to the new lawyers. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid escalating charges and complications. That should be your first question of the new lawyers.

The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a South Wimbledon conveyancing firm to help?
