I am considering applying for a Principality mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Beckenham with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Principality ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Principality will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

We are planning to move home in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Beckenham. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent however this should only be done once the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Beckenham or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Beckenham.

When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Beckenham property lawyers have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

I am expecting a OIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Beckenham solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Beckenham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Beckenham is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Beckenham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Beckenham 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 Beckenham may decide 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 residence.
