I chose a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Kennington last week. Reviewing the terms of engagement I notewe are on the hook for costs even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I ditch them and select a web based solicitor practice advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Kennington?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover the cases that do not proceed. Dont forget that these promotions tend not to protect you from expenses for instance Kennington conveyancing search fees.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented apartment in Kennington by 30/10/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice for your letting unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, update to your solicitor and ask them to they seek the assistance the owners lawyers, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will work to achieve
Finally the sale completed on my house in Kennington last March but my buyer keeps Skype messaging every few hours complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your solicitor should deliver the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Kennington I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Kennington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Kennington
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Kennington conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by head office.
