Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gillingham

I require quick conveyancing in Gillingham as I am faced with pressure to sign on the dotted line within one month. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not obtaining a mortgage you have the choice not to do searches although no lawyer would suggest that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Gillingham the following are instances of what can show up and therefore impact market value: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Gillingham 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

You no longer need to hold title deeds to establish that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Gillingham is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Gillingham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Gillingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gillingham 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 property.

How straightforward is it to use the search facility to locate a conveyancing solicitor in Gillingham on the authorised to act for my bank?
