Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kelvedon

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Kelvedon

Two types of professional can conduct conveyancing in Kelvedon namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals provide the legal services that required to complete the sale or purchase of property. Both are required to carry out Kelvedon conveyancing to the same standards and guidelines so you may be sure that your conveyancing will be properly administered and that all necessary procedures will be suitably adhered to.

I have paid off my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Kelvedon property lawyer on the Kent Reliance panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Kent Reliance has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Kent Reliance mortgage has been paid off.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Kelvedon on 14/7/2026, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Santander and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Santander 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 Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am downsizing from our property in Kelvedon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Kelvedon conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Kelvedon. We have lived in Kelvedon for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to 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 sickness)

Me and my brother own a renovated Edwardian property in Kelvedon. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Halifax. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kelvedon and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

How does conveyancing in Kelvedon differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kelvedon contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Kelvedon tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Kelvedon or who has acted in the same development.

Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on a house in Kelvedon I wish to talk to a conveyancer concerning thehome move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Kelvedon.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a matter number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Kelvedon should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

Is it best to instruct a Kelvedon conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can perform the conveyancing but they are based approximately 350miles drive away.

The benefit of a local Kelvedon conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were content that must trump using an unfamiliar Kelvedon conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
