We went with a Morden based firm for our conveyancing in Morden recently. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or select a web based conveyancing brokerage advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Morden?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the conveyances that abort. Also remember that these deals generally do not cover outlay for example Morden conveyancing search charges.

I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Morden. My lender is Bank of Ireland

Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 13/8/2025, the requirements read as follows :

I would like to rent out my leasehold flat in Morden. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

Even though your previous Morden conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior consent. The consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.

After years of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Morden. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

if there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to decide the sum to be paid.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Morden residence is 14 Nutwell Street in January 2014. The premium payable for the acquisition of a new lease of the subject premises was in the sum of £30,523 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 62.94 years.

I have read on various online forums that when choosing a conveyancing lawyer they need approved by your lender. This is my first house move but I have an AIP with Halifax and I already have a family conveyancing solicitor in Morden at the ready. Does Nat West Bank require an approved solicitor to be used? Does a list of panel conveyancers even exist for my conveyancing in Morden?

You need to use a solicitor that is on the Nat West Bank panel. Just ring your chosen Morden conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Nat West Bank panel. If they are not on the panel you have a couple of options available to you here:

• Carry on with your preferred Morden conveyancing practitioner but Nat West Bank will need to instruct a lawyer on their approved list. This will result in additional cost and potential frustration.
• Choose a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the Nat West Bank conveyancing panel.
• Convince your property lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Nat West Bank conveyancing panel.
