Why don't you need a conveyancer based in Havering?

In the old days you used your local solicitor. You would visit their office in the centre of Havering, and all documents would be hand-produced and posted or delivered by hand.

That service came at a price, but the truth is that it is no longer needed. With modern technology such as scanning, emailing and even Skype or Facetime video calls there is no need to use your local solicitor. Your conveyancer can be based anywhere and still provide a great service - even if he or she is in an office many miles away from Havering or perhaps not even in Greater London.

We have successfully dealt with thousands of conveyancing transactions all over the country, even with clients from the other side of the world. It is not unknown for us to talk to clients outside the UK using Skype, and once we had clients in Thailand talking to us through an interpreter in New Zealand!

There will be no need for you to visit our offices or hand deliver documents. You need never leave Havering - our conveyancers will talk you through the process via phone and email, and everything works just as smoothly as it would if we were just down the road.

Fees for conveyancing in Havering

Our fees are transparent and, so long as the situation does not change (for example so long as your property doesn't turn out to be leasehold when we thought it was freehold) the fee we quote is the fee you will be charged.

We don't add extras on for things like photocopying, postage, or the like. Those are our overheads and we don't pass them on to you.

All our conveyancing fees are dependent on the nature and value of the transaction, so we naturally charge a bit more for more complicated and high value work. However, the fee charged will be the same for a customer in Newcastle as it would be for someone in London, or indeed in Havering.

There are some aspects of our conveyancing fees which we can't change. Fees charged by other bodies such as HM Land Registry, or by HMRC for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) are out of our control.

Introduction to Havering is a borough in East London. It is a relatively large area, making up a formidable part of Outer London. The population of the borough is 245,974 as of mid-2014, and it covers an area of 43.35 square miles. Like many London boroughs, Havering was formed in 1965 through a collaboration of the former areas of Romford and Hornchurch.

However, much of Havering's development came in the late end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, as a result of London Underground development in the area, as well as commercial expansion through the development of nearby areas, notably the Lakeside Shopping Centre, which was opened in 1990.

Other notable locations in the borough include 'the diver', a sculpture created by John Kaufman, resembling a large diver. It is the only standing sculpture in the Thames, and is in place to resemble the population working in dangerous and difficult conditions.

It often attracts visitors. The Liberty Shopping Centre is also of formidable size, and there are an array of museums and theatres which attract visitors from all over, such as Romford Market and Upminster Windmill. Visitors may also come to visit the various sports teams, including Romford Football club and Romford Raiders Ice Hockey team.

Housing in the area has a constant pattern of 'garden suburbs', making the area idyllic, and on top of this there are a variety of parks and open spaces.

Accessibility in the area is easy; the M25 motorway forms part of the borough's boundary, and both the A12 and A13 roads are nearby as well. The London Underground's District Line serves the borough, with notable stations such as Hornchurch and Upminster. The London, Tilbury and Southend railway also passes through. Due to the accessibility to the major roads, 31.8% of the population between 16-74 drive to work, according to the 2011 census.
