My fiance’s dad is a solicitor. I anticipate that I'll be able to get friends and family fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what level of costs should I be paying for conveyancing in Grays?
Do contrast pricing. Make use of our search tool on this site. The amounts seem to contrast greatly but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is the case with most professions.
Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Grays conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the RBS conveyancing panel?
Grays conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from RBS directly.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Grays and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Grays conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Grays. Having lived in Grays for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I'm purchasing a new build house in Grays with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it may put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Grays is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Grays are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Grays you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Grays may ascertain 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.
