I am acquiring a house for cash in Bexley. I have been living for the previous dozen years in Bexley. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Bexley conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do consider; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it could be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. On occasion premises with day to day issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Bexley will be able to give you some practical guidance concerning this.
I am planning to move home in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Bexley. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this should only occur once the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Bexley or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Bexley.
My wife and I are at the point of viewing apartments in Bexley and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a solicitor on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a home loan with Aldermore.
It would be sensible to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Bexley on 7/11/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nottingham and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Bexley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my title? My Bexley conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Bexley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Bexley conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally necessitates the purchaser’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries most will be willing to assist. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is above £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to complete the sale of your home.
