We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Kennington found using your search tool but stumbled across alternative quotes on the internet appear less pricey – how come?
You can find numerous solicitors advertising alleged cheap conveyancing, yet more often than not supplementalcharges end up with the final bill markedly uplifted.

The owners have very pushy sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This type of agreement is unusual in Kennington, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has entered into a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the financial upside that your seller may obtain by breaking the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible that may be.
We are selling our home in Kennington. Will the conveyancing practitioner have to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
I am aiming to move house in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Kennington. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this website.

After that you will need to inform the removal men that they can start moving you in.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Kennington conveyancing lawyers have been appointed. How long does it take for Principality to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Principality done the valuation? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Kennington. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Principality?
Principality must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel firm.
