We are planning to acquire a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Keston who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Keston.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Keston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Keston conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Keston. Having lived in Keston for many years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Keston completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Keston ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to give a mortgage on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Keston. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Keston to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
My uncle has suggested that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Keston. Should I use them?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Keston conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to find a conveyancing solicitor is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
