I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Nat West. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in New Beckenham. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
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 CLC.
At what point will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in New Beckenham and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in New Beckenham you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in New Beckenham)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am buying a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in New Beckenham who is on the Nationwide Building Society solicitor. Can you recommend a local firm?

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in New Beckenham prior to instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to issue a loan on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in New Beckenham. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in New Beckenham especially if they are accustomed to such properties in New Beckenham.
Am I better off to appoint a New Beckenham conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal formalities however they are based a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The benefit of a local New Beckenham conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar New Beckenham conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
