Canvey Island is a reclaimed island on the north side of the Thames estuary in Essex – it's only just above sea level and is separated from mainland Essex by a number of creeks. Its history is fairly long, however, as it's been inhabited since the Roman invasion of Britain in AD79.
Up until the last century, it was nearly all given over to agriculture but it became a notable seaside resort between 1911 and 1951. These days, it's protected by modern sea defences so is considerably less flood-prone than it once was.
It formed part of Britain's Second World War defences, with a line of concrete pillboxes built there to deter any German invasion. These days, the eastern half of the island has been fairly developed into residential areas and public amenities. There is a small holiday camp and touristy seafront. The west is mainly farmland, marsh and industrial areas.
In terms of landmarks and attractions, the West Canvey Marshes were acquired by the RSPB and Canvey Wick has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest as it a site which has claims to having one of the highest levels of biodiversity in Western Europe. It has several shopping areas with the town centre based around Furtherwick Road and the High Street. It's Movi-Starr is a modern multi-screen cinema and it has several arcades, an amusement park and nightclubs. It also hosts the well-renowned Lobster Smack public house, which is a Grade II listed building constructed originally in the 17th century. It is where the world-famous pub-rock band Dr. Feelgood hail from.

Essex is not only a coastal county (the North Sea is to its east) but a home county because it touches Greater London on its eastern borders. Its settlements vary from Colchester, which is very historical and used to be the capital of England as Camulodunum, to Southend, a seaside resort, to Basildon, which is a comparatively modern urban development. The western side of Essex hosts many London workers and there are fast rail links to, for example, Shenfield from London Liverpool Street which aid many city workers.Essex's county town is Chelmsford (and is the county's only city), where Essex County Cricket Club are based. Essex hosts Stansted Airport and attractions such as the Lakeside Shopping Centre, near Thurrock and Epping Forest, a popular forest for camping and other activities. A large proportion of Essex's boundaries are water (the River Thames and the North Sea), the remainder includes Greater London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. Kent is across the River Thames to the south.

What are the conveyancing costs?
The solicitors' fees for handling your conveyance vary dramatically depending on whether you approach an online conveyancing solicitor, a high street conveyancer or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed as they are set including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
It is important to make sure when budgeting the costs of moving home that you factor in all of the above conveyancing costs and ensure you get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from your chosen local solicitors or licensed conveyancer.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.

Can you save money on stamp duty?
You are liable to pay stamp duty if you are buying any property – or percentage of a property (shared ownership) – which is valued at more than £125,000. If you own 2 properties, then you start to pay stamp duty on any second home which is worth more than £40,000.
Some companies have been known to offer stamp duty mitigation schemes which ostensibly claim to use tax system loopholes to minimise stamp duty owed. Although such schemes may look tempting:
- they are likely to be expensive;
- the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) has declared these schemes unethical and has forbidden its solicitors from taking part in them; and
- HMRC are constantly examining such schemes; if it examines such a scheme that you've paid money into and rules it illegal, you'll not only have to pay your full stamp duty but you'll lose any money you paid to the company in charge of the scheme.
