Top 5 reasons to use our service to help you select a local conveyancing solicitor in Woolwich

  • 2 The Woolwich conveyancing firms that are listed are committed to providing value for money, efficient and transparent conveyancing service to purchasers, sellers and investors in Woolwich
  • 3 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Woolwich is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) sometimes falls short of the level of professionalism you will expect.
  • 4 Retaining the services of a high street Solicitor usually results in a more personal touch. Online forums often suggest that in selecting a large conveyancing firm, your matter is dealt with by a team of people who who progress matters by reading from their computer screens.
  • 5 No matter what any other on-line conveyancers may claim it just might be necessary to attend your solicitor to execute documents. Too many 3rd parties are already involved in a house sale without having to include Royal Mail into the equation.

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.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Woolwich

Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Woolwich conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Woolwich. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?

It best that you pay the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and service charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
