I am purchasing a new build flat in Lambeth. Can I do my own conveyancing?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Lambeth you will have to appoint a solicitor on your lender's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

I am aiming to move property in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Lambeth. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this page.

On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your property agent but this can only occur when the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Lambeth or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Lambeth.

Can I be sure that the Lambeth conveyancing solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Lambeth seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.

I have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society for my property in Lambeth. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?

You must advise Leeds Building Society prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Leeds Building Society will allow you to rent 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 Leeds Building Society directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel firm.
