My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Clapham. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the National Westminster Bank approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
The first thing to do is call your solicitor and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can get in touch with National Westminster Bank who may be able to help.
Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may impact a commercial property in Clapham?

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Clapham it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Clapham.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Clapham benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this extras as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Clapham to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of another?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I have just started marketing my garden flat in Clapham. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would because all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
After years of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Clapham. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
