What happens if my solicitor is removed from the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Gravesend?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

My conveyancer has informed me that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Gravesend?

The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Gravesend. I have a mortgage offer with Santander. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel.

The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Gravesend 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title deeds to prove you are the owner of your registered land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Gravesend. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

Given that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in Gravesend I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer concerning theconveyancing prior to instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Gravesend.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a case number.
