Having been suggested to visit your service we were about to use a conveyancing solicitor in Greenhithe listed by you but stumbled across alternative costs illustrations on the internet look cheaper – why is this?
One can find numerous conveyancing companies advertising at first sight what seems to be very low prices. We would urge you to give due consideration as to how much you respect your own move to you are willing to take 'cheap' risks with regard to the quality of the legal work. Some hide additional charges well inside the terms and conditions. The solicitors that we put forward for conveyancing in Greenhithe neverbehave this way.
I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Greenhithe. What can be done to hasten the legal process?
In the event that you are under time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they would have handled otherproperties in the same road. Therefore consider using a Greenhithe conveyancing lawyer. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel.

In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being delayed by almost 21 days. It is believed that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales annually. Almost all Greenhithe conveyancing practices can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Greenhithe. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Greenhithe. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Kent Reliance panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Greenhithe is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Greenhithe are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Greenhithe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Greenhithe may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
