My best friend’s sister is a conveyancing practitioner. I hope that I will receive friends and family fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Woolwich?

We are looking to buy a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Woolwich who is on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Woolwich.

I am downsizing from our house in Woolwich and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Woolwich lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Woolwich. Having lived in Woolwich for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Woolwich took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in Woolwich differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Woolwich approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Woolwich typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Woolwich or who has acted in the same development.

Can I discover who owns a house in Woolwich?
