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.
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.

Do you need to have a survey?
When you buy a property with a mortgage, you have to book and pay for your lender's mortgage valuation (click to find out more). This is:
- Not the same as a RICS Home Buyers Survey
- Done on behalf of the lender, not you, and is about ensuring the property value is in keeping with your proposed mortgage sum
- Only cursory about checking for defects.
We advise every home buyer to get a RICS home buyers survey when they're looking to buy a property. When you're thinking of committing to spending what is normally at least hundreds of £1,000s on a property, it surely makes sense to have it checked for potential defects by an expert who is purely working for your best interests.
If your surveyor has suspicions of defects such as subsidence, they note them in a report and this can be used to bargain with the vendor for contributions towards remedy which may mean a lower selling price or you may even decide to pull out entirely.
Additionally, if your surveyor fails to spot a defect which subsequently becomes apparent and costly to remedy, they are answerable to claims and all carry indemnity insurance covering the full value of the property in question.
