About to purchase house in Beckton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Beckton solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

What does a local search tell me regarding the house we're buying in Beckton?

Beckton conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations for instance Searchflow The local search is essential in every Beckton conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty once you have moved into your property.

They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Beckton conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.

I am due to review costs for conveyancing in Beckton from various conveyancer and appoint one. Do I ask them to hold tight until I have found somewhere to acquire.

We would recommend that you wait to ask your property lawyer to open a file and order searches after the sales memorandum has been sent by the selling agent particularly as Beckton conveyancing searches are a couple of hundred pounds.
