Some advice if I may. My Streatham conveyancer is assuring me that she is duty bound toconduct Streatham conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is my solicitor right?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Streatham conveyancing searches.
As someone not used to conveyancing in Streatham what is your top tip you can impart for the home moving process in Streatham
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Streatham and elsewhere in South London is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially the mortgage company.

We are witnessing a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your lawyer ahead of the other players in the conveyancing process.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Streatham I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Streatham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
