Reasons to use our Waltham conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 Cut price packages from online conveyancers might seem attractive. However, these companies are often based many kilometers away with little understanding of the factors that impact property transactions in Waltham
  • 2 There is a better than average chance that the other side’s lawyers are located in Waltham - if so sets of solicitors are likely to have worked on conveyancing matters in the past
  • 3 Using a a family Solicitor on the whole means that you will receive a more personalised service. Online forums often suggest that in choosing a an online conveyancing factory, you tend to be looked after by a team of people who who update you by reading from their computer screens.
  • 4 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Waltham 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.
  • 5 Conveyancer conveyancing lawyers have excellent personal connections with Waltham estate agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Waltham

Having been suggested to visit your service we were going to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Waltham listed by you but stumbled across some other estimates on the internet look less expensive – how come?

There are plenty of solicitors marketing what appear to be the cheapest conveyancing in Waltham. We suggest that you think twice about how much you respect your own move to want to take 'cheap' risks with regard to the standard of the legal work. Many of them highlight a low fee to catch your eye but plant extra charges in the small print..

How up to date is your database of Waltham solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? Do Kent Reliance send you an updated list?

Waltham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Kent Reliance directly.

Me and my partner are purchasing a apartment in Waltham. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

We previously selected solicitors based in Waltham on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental charge for the legal aspects of the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Clydesdale but by your Waltham conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

We were going to get a DIP from Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance recommend any Waltham solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

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

I am downsizing from our house in Waltham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Waltham. We have lived in Waltham for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should 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 sickness)

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Waltham I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Waltham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Cardiff but live in Waltham. My lawyer (based 235 kilometers awayneeds me to execute a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Waltham to attest this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Waltham based
