I am considering applying for a mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Brompton with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

About to purchase a new build flat in Brompton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Brompton

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Brompton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Brompton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a residence in Neath but I am based in Brompton. My lawyer (who is 260 miles from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration prior to completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Brompton who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?

Technically speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Brompton based
