Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rainham Kent

We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Rainham Kent recommended on your site but stumbled across some other estimates on the internet seem cheaper – how come?

There are many firms of conveyancers marketing at first sight what seems to be extremely cheap conveyancing in Rainham Kent. We suggest that you think twice as to how important this transaction is to you that want to be penny wise pound foolish concerning the quality of the conveyancing. Some embed extras well inside the terms of engagement. The law firms that we put forward for conveyancing in Rainham Kent neverdo this.

My wife and I are intent on selling our property in Rainham Kent and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Rainham Kent lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Rainham Kent. We have lived in Rainham Kent for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of 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 illness)

I am buying a new build house in Rainham Kent benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Rainham Kent is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Rainham Kent are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rainham Kent you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Rainham Kent may determine 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 residence.

Given that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on 3 bedroom house in Rainham Kent I wish to talk to a solicitor about mytransaction before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Rainham Kent.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Rainham Kent should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
