Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Edenbridge who conducted the legals two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Halifax. I am now being quoted double. Should I hunt for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The charges seem a tad high. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, assuming were content with the assistance the firm gave you couldlive to regret choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Don't forget to be sure the firm can act for Halifax. You can use our search tool to get a quote a Edenbridge conveyancing firm on the Halifax approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Edenbridge.
I am planning on selling our home in Edenbridge and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Edenbridge. Having lived in Edenbridge for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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 illness)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Edenbridge I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Edenbridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer 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 can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
My business partner and I are looking to lease a unit on a shopping parade. Can you recommend lawyers offering competitive fees for commercial conveyancing in Edenbridge for below 2k?

Am I better off to instruct a Edenbridge conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can execute the legal formalities but they are based over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Edenbridge conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were happy that must trump using an unknown Edenbridge conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
