I selected a Benfleet based solicitor for my conveyancing in Benfleet yesterday. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I noteI am on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and use a web based solicitor practice offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Benfleet?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to offset those cases that do not go ahead. Dont forget that such offerings rarely protect you from expenditure e.g. Benfleet conveyancing search expenses.
My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in Benfleet and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is duty bound to check with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am helping my niece sell her property in Benfleet. Will the solicitor arrange the energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates was kept a mandatory component of moving property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned prior to the property being put on the market. This is not something that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Benfleet conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with reputable local assessors
I am due to move house in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Benfleet. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent but this should only be done when the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Benfleet or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Benfleet.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Benfleet conveyancing solicitors were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nationwide done the valuation? Have you informed Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Benfleet I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Benfleet in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
