My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Dulwich. I I would like to check whether they are on the Virgin Money approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?
You should contact the lawyer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can get in touch with Virgin Money who may be able to help.
We are aiming to move house in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Dulwich. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the selling agent but this can only occur when the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Dulwich or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Dulwich.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Dulwich conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for Aldermore to send the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore done the survey? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
My offer was accepted on a property in Dulwich on 25/6/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
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 Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 68 years remaining on my flat in Dulwich. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord.

It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Dulwich.
