Reasons to use our Kent conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 Solicitors that specialise in conveyancing in Kent are familiar with the local issues peculiar to Kent and therefore you may benefit from better guidance and expeditious conveyancing.
  • 2 Retaining the services of a local Solicitor usually results in a more bespoke service. When using a an online conveyancing factory, your matter is dealt with by a team of people who who update you by determining whether the ‘computers says no’.
  • 3 Notwithstanding what alternative sites inform you it could be necessary to attend your conveyancer to execute documents. There are enough parties engaged in a homemove without having to include Royal Mail into the mix.
  • 4 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Kent is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) sometimes falls short of the level of professionalism you would hope for.
  • 5 Low cost packages from online conveyancers might be tempting. However, these companies are often based many miles away with limited appreciation of the factors that impact property transactions in Kent

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kent

I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Kent. I have been living for the last Seventeen years in Kent. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Kent conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. One thing to consider; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it will likely be be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches determine. On occasion houses with functional issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Kent will provide you some sensible advice concerning this.

We are due to move home in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Kent. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this website.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your property agent however this should only occur once the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Kent or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Kent.

We were going to get a AIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Kent solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Kent solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, TSB are being a right pain. The Kent solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I need some fast conveyancing in Kent as I am faced with a deadline to exchange contracts within 4 weeks. Thankfully I do not require a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

If.Given you are not obtaining a home loan you have the choice not to do searches although no solicitor would suggest that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Kent the following are examples of issues that can show up and therefore impact future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...

I have justdiscovered that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Kent for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Kent conveyancing specialists.

Due to exchange soon on a ground floor flat in Kent. Conveyancing solicitors inform me that they will have a report out to me next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

The report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Kent should include some of the following:

    Who has the liability to repair and maintain the building. It is important for you to know which party is liable for the repair and maintenance of every part of the building Responsibility for repairing the window frames The landlord’s rights to access the property. You should be made aware that your landlord has rights of access as well as be informed how much notice must be provided. Are you allowed to have a pet in the flat? You should have a good understanding of the building insurance requirements
For a comprehensive list of information to be contained in your report on your leasehold property in Kent please enquire of your conveyancer in ahead of your conveyancing in Kent.

I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Kent, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Kent with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2100

With just 74 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
