Logical reasons to let us help you choose a local conveyancing solicitor in St Mary Cray

  • 1 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in St Mary Cray is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) often falls short of the high standards of professionalism you will expect.
  • 2 St Mary Cray property lawyers work in conjunction with St Mary Cray estate agents, house builders, surveyors, mortgage companies and other professionals to make sure that a quality service is offered to home movers every step of the way, helping make the process as straightforward as possible
  • 3 No matter what any other lawyers advise it may be necessary to pop into your solicitor to execute documents. Too many 3rd parties are already engaged in a homemove without having to include the postman into the equation.
  • 4 Lawyer conveyancing lawyers have excellent personal links with St Mary Cray estate agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 5 St Mary Cray solicitors have a significant edge when it comes to St Mary Cray conveyancing as they have valuable local knowledge of local authority requirements, planning policies and other issues that can impact your sale or purchase

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in St Mary Cray I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in St Mary Cray for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

What are my options where I am dissatisfied with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out my conveyancing in St Mary Cray?

Occasionally the level of service you receive is not as you expect, and is is a fact of life that sometimes matters do not go as planned. That being said there is recourse if you were not happy with your conveyancing in St Mary Cray. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a solicitor to their governing body. If things still aren’t sorted out you may consider getting in touch with the Legal Ombudsman.
