I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer or a local Dagenham conveyancing solicitor?
Generally conveyancing lawyers in your area will enjoy excellent alliances with your local authority, which can assist with the Dagenham conveyancing searches that your lawyer will require. It can only be a plus if they have strong rapport with the Land Registry overseeing your area Dagenham, other lawyers in the location and Dagenham property agents.
We were just about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Dagenham. We have hit a problem. Our mortgage offer with Santander expires on 18/2/2025 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 20/2/2025. Can one prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The best person to address this question is your conveyancer who will hopefully determine whether he or she is better off negotiating with the lender, seller’s lawyers, property agents or conceivably all parties given the circumstances your house move to date.
My partner and I are selling our property in Dagenham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Dagenham. We have lived in Dagenham for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
About to purchase a new build flat in Dagenham. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Dagenham is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Dagenham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Dagenham you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Dagenham 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 residence.
