IfI were to acquire a freehold homein Bexleyheath mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Bexleyheath?
The only reduction in fees you would make on is the Bexleyheath conveyancing searches. Your lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the sellers solicitor, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a charge however it will not be significant.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Bexleyheath. I need to find out if they are on the Santander approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?

I purchased my flat on 10 September and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Bexleyheath said it would be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Bexleyheath uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Bexleyheath registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Bexleyheath which have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Bexleyheath conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
if there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the price payable.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Bexleyheath property is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case affected 13 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 76 years.
