Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Northfleet

My IFA requires my Northfleet law firm’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have e-mailed my local Northfleet branch but they have not responded to me.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Northfleet conveyancer . Most Northfleet law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

I am purchasing a house for cash in Northfleet. I have been residing for the previous dozen years in Northfleet. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Northfleet conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do consider; if you are going to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. On occasion premises with apparent issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Northfleet should provide you some constructive advice here.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Northfleet is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Northfleet are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Northfleet you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Northfleet 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.
