Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stockwell

I am being told by my solicitor that absentee landlord insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Stockwell?

The appropriate level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

Intending to buy a apartment in Stockwell. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Stockwell conveyancer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Stockwell on 9/1/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Santander and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Are Santander entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am buying my first flat in Stockwell benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Stockwell is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Stockwell are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Stockwell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stockwell may determine 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 premises.

We are 14 days into a freehold purchase having been recommend to solicitors by the local agent to execute conveyancing in Stockwell. I am am starting to be disappointed with the quality of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?

A solicitor would have to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage been sent? If so you will need to inform them of the new lawyer and ensure the loan are re-sent. Your new conveyancer should be on the lenders approved list to avoid supplemental costs and delays. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £450,000 maisonette in Stockwell next Wednesday. The landlords agents has quoted £384 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Stockwell?

Stockwell conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes nine out of ten times results in administration charges raised by managing agents :

    Completing pre-exchange enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Stockwell Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Stockwell leasehold property is £350. For Stockwell conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. 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. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to provide answers.

We have reached the end of our tether in seeking a lease extension in Stockwell. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Stockwell conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Stockwell residence is 3 Tintern Street in February 2010. The tribunal had jurisdiction to make a decision on the price of the freehold of the subject premises and concluded that the premium should be £24,630.00 This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 73.69 years.

I have today placed an offer on a leasehold flat in Stockwell and the mortgage adviser that we are using suggested his property lawyer. They quoted nine hundred pounds including VAT and disbursements. Does this sound reasonable?

Don't just go on one estimate. You should obtain like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Stockwell. Then select one that you are comfortable with and just as important, is on the approved panel of the bank that you are sourcing your mortgage from.
