I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Nat West. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Epsom and Ewell. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am aiming to move property in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Epsom and Ewell. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only occur once the vendors solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Epsom and Ewell or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Epsom and Ewell.
My solicitor has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Epsom and Ewell conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Virgin Money. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Epsom and Ewell. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Your original mortgage agreement with Barclays will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. You need not do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel firm.
Should our solicitor be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Epsom and Ewell.

However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Epsom and Ewell. The standard information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the premises has historically flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an environmental report. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be made.
