Kent, romantically described as 'the garden of England', is a coastal county in the England's south eastern corner. Because it borders Greater London, it is classed as one of the home counties. It contains the Weald and the North Downs. Kent's county town is Maidstone. Other large cities include Gillingham, Chatham, Ashford, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Margate, Dartford and Gravesend. Kent has many port towns including Dover, Folkestone and Margate. Adjacent counties include East Sussex, Surrey, Essex (across the River Thames) and, as stated earlier, Greater London. Curiously, Kent used to contain an enclave north of the River Thames until 1965 which equates now to the E16 postcode area and which has now been reclassified as part of the London Borough of Newham. JMW Turner, the great impressionist painter, spent part of his childhood in Margate and regularly returned there in later life. The coastline of East Kent is regarded as the inspiration for many of his works, particularly his fantastic seascapes.

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.Â
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.

Why should you double check your solicitors' bank account details?
Cybercrime is on the rise generally and criminals often actively target the conveyancing sector, because of the transfers of comparatively large sums of money which are associated with it.
A particular scam you should be aware of, because there have been a number of victims, runs like this. Hackers attack a law firm's IT systems to get details of home purchasing clients at the point of completion.
The hackers then send emails which look like authentic ones from the law firm which give a bogus bank account which they request the client pays their completion money into. There have been cases where people have lost more than £70,000 in this way.
The simplest way to protect yourself is never to make a transfer of funds if you receive a suspicious email or phone call telling you that your solicitor's bank details have changed.
