Should conveyancers ask for an advanced payment for my conveyancing in Leytonstone?
If you are buying a property in Leytonstone your lawyer will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees.

My apartment in Leytonstone is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does my lawyer need to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Leytonstone. The Leytonstone property was put into my name in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in August. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this requirement primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.
Can I be sure that the Leytonstone conveyancing solicitor on the Santander panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Leytonstone obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
