Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Greenhithe

I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out flat in Greenhithe by 23/4/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in six weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?

It is unwise to serve notice for your letting unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, update to your solicitor and request that they apply pressure on the sellers side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work towards

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Greenhithe? What am I being asked for?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Where you refuse to hand over identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.

How does conveyancing in Greenhithe differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Greenhithe contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Greenhithe tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Greenhithe or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Greenhithe is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Greenhithe are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Greenhithe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Greenhithe 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.
