After what seems like an age a loan offer from NatWest for the remortgage of my 4 bedroom apartment is coming imminently. Are you able to suggest a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Northfleet?

This site is not designed to assist those in their quest for the lowest fares for conveyancing in Northfleet. Our intention is to offer excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing brokers offering £99 conveyancing in Northfleet. In your best case scenario, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst you will end up paying a lot in additional fees and still not get the service expected.

Can you recommend a Clydesdale allowed Northfleet conveyancing practice that can complete within two weeks? Would it be better to use a high street Northfleet conveyancer or a web based conveyancer?

We would be happy to suggest some excellent Northfleet conveyancing firms. Another option is to visit the high street in Northfleet. Go in to some well established firms and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a costs illustration. Explain your deadline together with your reasons and get a commitment on your deadline. Appoint the one that genuine.

We see that you have a post code search directory identifying law firms on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Northfleet?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Northfleet.

I am downsizing from our house in Northfleet and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Northfleet lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Northfleet. We have lived in Northfleet for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 sickness)

I'm buying my first flat in Northfleet benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
