Thurrock Conveyancing Solicitors

Buying property in Thurrock

Thurrock is an Essex borough, which includes the districts of Grays and Tilbury. Its good communication links to central London (journey times from Grays to Fenchuch St are only 35 minutes) have made it popular with commuters looking for affordable property.

Another key factor in the attractiveness of the district to families is the amount of green space - with more than half the borough designated as green belt.

Thurrock is already an important international trade centre and has been identified as part of the Thames Gateway redevelopment zone creating further opportunities for industrial and commercial development.

What do Thurrock conveyancing solicitors do?

A solicitor plays a key role after an offer has been accepted, and assists you with the legal aspect of the transaction.

Your solicitor will order searches, raise enquires of the seller's solicitor, review contracts and ensure that post-purchase requirements, including paying SDLT, are completed.

Thurrock conveyancing solicitors may undertake flood risk assessments due to large low-lying areas, and potential for London's green belt issues.

Are you taking out a mortgage?

If you are buying with the help of a mortgage, your solicitor will investigate the property to verify that the property is worth the loan that your mortgage lender will provide.

Being a member of a lender's panel will mean your solicitor can represent the interests of your mortgage provider.

Over 100 mortgage lenders have approved our chosen partner solicitors, so we can help you complete your Thurrock transaction without delay.

Buying a leasehold property

The vast majority of flats are leasehold. There are also an estimated 1 million leasehold houses throughout the country. Purchasing a leasehold property can take weeks longer than a freehold property as the landlord or managing agent are involved.

Delays in leasehold transactions could include anything from an unreachable freeholder to slow delivery of managing agents' documents.

Expert leasehold conveyancers handle hundreds of leasehold transactions a month. Our proactive approach means fewer obstacles.

What do I need to know if selling a leasehold property in Thurrock?

The legal work for a leasehold flat or house is a great deal more specialised than for a freehold property.

The complexities of leasehold mean conveyancing solicitors in Thurrock will usually undertake additional legal work. This can involve getting all relevant freeholder information, through to insurance details.

So as to resolve any leasehold-related problems sooner, It is strongly advised that the seller instruct a lawyer as early in the process as possible, preferably before putting the property on the market.

Conveyancing costs in Thurrock: What to expect

Conveyancing solicitors fees

Your conveyancing solicitor's quote will set out the legal fees (inc. VAT) that you pay when the property transaction is complete. These fees are what your conveyancing solicitor charges you for the work they carry out during your transaction.

Disbursements

Your quote should also list any disbursements, which are costs paid to third parties on your behalf, such as Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), HM Land Registry fees and property searches.

Check the terms and conditions

When you compare conveyancing quotes, watch out for undisclosed fees missing from the original quote. Some solicitors' quotes include extra costs in their terms and conditions. This can lead to a higher final bill.
