My friend's dad is a property lawyer. I anticipate that I will receive mate’s pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Homerton?
It’s prudent to look for 3 or more like-for-like conveyancing quotes. Do use our search tool on this page. Whilst fees seem to be different but service levels do differ between law firms as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.
Me and my partner are due to exchange buying a property in Homerton but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors of six thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Lloyds will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Your solicitor that is on a Lloyds conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Lloyds of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Homerton.
We are selling our home in Homerton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Homerton. Having lived in Homerton for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with 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 ailment)
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Homerton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Homerton ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may not give a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you call us we can look into this further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Homerton. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
