I am searching for value for money conveyancer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer or a high street Goodmayes conveyancing lawyer?
Established third party relationships is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing solicitors.

Hosting specialist knowledge of the local area is an advantage.
The housing market in Goodmayes is heating up. What can I do to speed up matters?
In a situation where the seller is applying a tight deadline to exchange it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will make use of local relationships and know-how. It is even conceivable that they would have handled otherproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Goodmayes conveyancing firm. Second, make sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is said that nearly one in five of Goodmayes conveyancing deals are suspended or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being delayed by an average of three weeks. It is believed that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home moves every year. Many Goodmayes conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
I am considering applying for a Virgin Money mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Goodmayes with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Virgin Money will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Goodmayes is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Goodmayes are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Goodmayes you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Goodmayes may decide 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 residence.

I bought a flat in Goodmayes last 23/8/2024 and to date it is still not registered with HMLR. It was part of a new estate and my solicitor told me that it may take twelve months to register. I have contacted HMLR directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Should I be concerned?
