Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dagenham

Having been recommended your service we were about to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Dagenham found by you but stumbled across alternative estimates on the internet seem less pricey – why is this?

There are many firms of conveyancers marketing at first sight what seems to be very low prices. We would encourage you to think twice about how important this transaction is to you that want to take 'cheap' risks concerning the standard of the conveyancing. Some embed fees deep into the terms of engagement. The solicitors that we list for conveyancing in Dagenham neverbehave this way.

4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Dagenham completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 asset 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.

I am buying a new build apartment in Dagenham. Conveyancing is daunting 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.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Dagenham

    The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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. Please supply a car parking plan.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Dagenham ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to issue a loan on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Dagenham. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Dagenham to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

Am I right to be wary about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local Dagenham conveyancing company?

As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may suggest lawyers to select. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to choose your own lawyer. Don't forget that most lenders have an approved list of law firms you have to use for the lender aspect of your house move.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Dagenham being more expensive?

Conveyancing in Dagenham for recently converted or new build homes often involve adoption of highways & drains, building regulations approval, planning permission, new build warranties such NHBC as well as further questions and contractual concerns.
