We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Homerton recommended on your site but have come across some other estimates on the internet look less pricey – how come?
You can find many firms of conveyancers marketing what appear to be very low prices. We suggest that you think long and hard as to how much you respect your own move to want to take 'cheap' risks with regard to the standard of the conveyancing. Some hide extras deep into the terms and conditions. The solicitors that we put forward for conveyancing in Homerton will notdo this.
The Homerton conveyancing firm handling our Homerton conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Homerton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Homerton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Homerton 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 property.
