I can see plenty of information on this site concerning conveyancing in Chingford but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Chingford
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Chingford conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We are aiming to move house in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Chingford. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent however this should only occur once the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Chingford or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Chingford.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Chingford on 16/12/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Kent Reliance and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Chingford?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Chingford. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Chingford ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years unexpired on my lease in Chingford. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you have done all that could be expected to find the lessor. On the whole a specialist may be helpful to carry out a search and prepare a report to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Chingford.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can one make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Chingford conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
