I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Nat West. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Fulham. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

Do I find a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Fulham?

There are two types of lawyers who can execute conveyancing in Fulham namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle conveyancing services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. Both are obliged to perform Fulham conveyancing on similar quality and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally administered and that the necessary procedures will be correctly taken.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Fulham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Fulham conveyancing practitioner is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Kent Reliance. Is it usual for Kent Reliance to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Fulham is approved on their conveyancing panel? Kent Reliance have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Fulham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Fulham conveyancing specialists.

My husband and I have today had an offer accepted on our first home in Fulham, and are now looking to get solicitors appointed. I have used the different rating based websites and the results are from all across the the UK. Is it essential to have a Fulham conveyancing practitioner local to your prospective house? I am willing to do all the communicating over email, but I assume at some stage we will need to attend the lawyer's office to sign contracts?

Usually there is no requirement to attend the office of your property lawyer, they can send any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and send back. Many home movers prefer to use a locally based solicitor, but it is not essential for conveyancing in Fulham.
