How can we tell if a Downham conveyancing solicitor on the Barclays panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Downham obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.
Lloyds have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Downham has been accepted, now what?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Contact Lloyds or your financial adviser and finish off any appropriate paperwork. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Downham.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when purchasing a house in Downham? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some house owners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Downham?
Unless a prior acquisition of the premises completed post 12 October 2013 you may assume that solicitors conducting conveyancing in Downham to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Downham. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Downham

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we use their chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Downham
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Downham conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
We are considering instructing a web based conveyancing practitioner as opposed to a Downham conveyancing practice. Should I ‘stay local’?
There are advantages of having the opportunity to pop in to a local Downham conveyancing solicitor such as
- signing documents and and when necessary
- getting face-to-face explanations of matters that you need help with
- the ability to raise concerns if things are not going as expected
When checking estimates, look out for hidden extras. The majority decent Downham high street solicitors give an all-inclusive price. Many online companies seem to offer low cost prices, yet have hidden 'extras' in the fine print.
