It may have been a long time coming a loan agreement from Santander for the remortgage of my 3 bedroom garden flat is expected imminently. Could you propose a low cost conveyancing solicitor in South Wimbledon?

We have agreed to purchase a house in South Wimbledon. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton your lawyer must follow the formal instructions outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Skipton where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to South Wimbledon.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in South Wimbledon off the council. I have a mortgage offer with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local South Wimbledon solicitor - who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your South Wimbledon postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in South Wimbledon.

The deeds to our house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in South Wimbledon 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

As long as the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be documented by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your property and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.

I am purchasing a new build house in South Wimbledon with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would put at risk my loan with Nationwide Building Society. 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.

I have been advised by a few estate agents in South Wimbledon to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over another?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
