My lawyer in Bromley Common has never been on on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Bromley Common solicitors but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society will need to retain a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional total legal charges as well as result in frustration.
- Choose an alternative lawyer to to deal with the conveyancing, remembering to check they are on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel
How does conveyancing in Bromley Common differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bromley Common contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Bromley Common tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bromley Common or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Bromley Common
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Bromley Common conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
My brother purchased his flat in Bromley Common Six years ago. He has been married, divorced and has recently married again. He now wishes to dispose of the Bromley Common property. I think he will simply be requested to supply copies of his marriage certificates to the lawyer however he is worried it could frustrate the home move. Is it worth updating the Land Registry details for the property?
The is no need to update the title for the property providing you have the evidence required to demonstrate how the change of name occurred.
Any purchaser’s lawyer will examine the land registry entries and ask for evidence to prove the name change for example marriage documentation.
