It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest East Croydon conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We are planning to move home in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in East Croydon. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your website.

On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent but this can only occur when the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in East Croydon or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in East Croydon.

I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in East Croydon. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this requirement principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I am purchasing my first flat in East Croydon benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it will affect my loan with Halifax. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in East Croydon

We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred East Croydon conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.

I am due to review costs for conveyancing in East Croydon from various conveyancing practitioner and choose one. Should I instruct them to hold tight until I I have an offer accepted on a apartment.

We suggest that you wait to request your solicitor to start work and order searches after the sales memo has been issued by the estate agent especially as East Croydon conveyancing searches are costly.
