AssumingI were to acquire a simple residential homein East Beckton for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in East Beckton?
Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the East Beckton conveyancing searches. The lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers solicitor, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge however it won't be significant.
I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a East Beckton based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the bank and determine if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near East Beckton.
I have a renovated Victorian property in East Beckton. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and TSB. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in East Beckton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in East Beckton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in East Beckton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in East Beckton tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in East Beckton or who has acted in the same development.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
