After what seems like an age a loan offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 2 bedroom flat is to be issued any day now. Are you able to put forward a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Barnehurst?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in Barnehurst. Our goal is to offer excellent value conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be swayed by companies teasing you with low cost conveyancing in Barnehurst. At best, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up with a hefty uplift in additional fees and still not get the service expected.
At what point will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Barnehurst and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Barnehurst you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with provide a national conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Barnehurst)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Barnehurst in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks will not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Barnehurst.

I have been advised by a number of estate agents in Barnehurst to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your services over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any financial incentive for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Barnehurst
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Barnehurst conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
