Recently asked questions about conveyancing in West Beckton

I am considering applying for a RBS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in West Beckton with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for RBS ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the RBS conveyancing panel, but RBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

I used Arc property Solicitors several years past for my conveyancing in West Beckton. I now require my file but the law firm has closed. What do I do?

Do call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracing your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in West Beckton I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in West Beckton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

What is different about your site and other online quote calculators when it comes to conveyancing in West Beckton?

At this site get an accurate quote from a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that understands the issues of your conveyancing in West Beckton. As opposed to estate agents and brokerage sites we are not in the business of charging firms a commission if you choose them for your property ownership legalities in West Beckton

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in West Beckton

It is improbable the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted West Beckton conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.

We recently found out that one of the directors of the law firm handling the purchase conveyancing in West Beckton is related to the seller. Is this acceptable?

On the basis that no conflict arises this is allowable. Where you are needing a mortgage then the mortgage company may have a say as many mortgage companies have specific requirements on this. For example for Bradford & Bingley as of 26/3/2025, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Your firm may only act if a separate fee earner or partner within the firm acts for us.
