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.Â
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.

Chatham Conveyancing Solicitor fees dramatically vary 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.
If you're buying a property in Chatham using a mortgage, when your four main searches are returned these may in turn recommend that you book further additional searches. These can include a specialist Subsidence Report for example.
This report confirms if your property is in an area affected by subsidence due to soil shrinkage. If this is flagged as an issue you should check the seller’s property information form (section 5) [click to find out more] when they are sent through as the sellers state whether the property has been underpinned.
A Subsidence Report is good for flagging high risk soil types that could cause subsidence, however it does not confirm whether your property has subsidence. If you are concerned about subsidence then you should instruct a RICS surveyor to carry out a Building Survey (click for a quote) to confirm if they see any signs of subsidence affecting your property.
