It has taken forever and a day but a loan agreement from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 4 bedroom garden flat is coming imminently. Can you recommend a cheap conveyancing law firm in Harold Hill?
You have come to the wrong site to search for cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Harold Hill. Our intention is to offer value for money conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint companies offering low cost conveyancing in Harold Hill.

Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Harold Hill conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?
Harold Hill conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Harold Hill off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use 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 Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
Planning on purchasing a house in Harold Hill. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Harold Hill property lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
I have instructed a Harold Hill conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Harold Hill surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Harold Hill?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Harold Hill. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Harold Hill I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Harold Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
My wife and I plan to buy our first property in Harold Hill. Conveyancing lawyer has been selected. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the house is just 20 yrs old.
You would be best advised to have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence was built more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. They will highlight any obvious problems and recommend further investigation where appropriate. Where there are any signs of material issues seek a full structural survey.
