There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Hackbridge but how do I know who I should use?

It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Hackbridge conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Hackbridge conveyancing lawyers have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nottingham?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nottingham completed the valuation? Have you informed Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Hackbridge bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Hackbridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Provided that the lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hackbridge is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Hackbridge are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hackbridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Hackbridge 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 property.

As co-executor for the estate of my aunt I am selling a house in Cardiff but I am based in Hackbridge. My conveyancer (based 300 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Hackbridge who can attest this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Hackbridge based
