Selling or buying a home with our Deptford Conveyancing Solicitors
Deptford is an area of south-east London on the south bank of the River Thames within the London Borough of Lewisham. It has a historical association with docks and shipbuilding and other possible – and famous – myths and legends, such as being the location where Sir Walter Raleigh lay down his cloak for the then Queen Elizabeth to walk over, saving her feet from getting wet and Christopher Marlowe, the famous playwright, was said to be murdered in a house along Deptford Strand.
Deptford's economy plummeted with the decline of the Port of London's shipping, however factories have been sited there and there are numerous artistic haunts and great green spaces.
Landmarks and attractions in the area include, among others, Deptford railway station, one of the oldest suburban stations in the world (completed 1838), St Nicholas' Church, the Albany Theatre, Deptford Cinema, Creekside, the Dog & Bell pub and the parks of Brookmill, Deptford, Ferranti and Sayes Court Park.

The A200 runs through Deptford's locale and the A2 trunk road; this in turn gives access to the M25 which links to the country's wider motorway network. Deptford Railway Station offers frequent services to Central London termini for connections to other major urban conurbations and there are any number of services to London's suburbs and outwards towards Kent's coastline. The Thames Clipper is also available on the river to travel to destinations in London along the Thames.

Greater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as nor even always continguous with the borders of the boroughs.Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.
Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK, it can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Deptford 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.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.
Fast, good and cheap conveyancing
Read our guides on how you can get all three:
Can your parents sell you a property at a discount?
It's perfectly legal for your parents or a close relative to sell you a property at a discount and if your mortgage lender is happy with the arrangement, they can regard the discount as effectively making up the deposit. This is called a concessionary purchase.
You need to be quite clear with your mortgage lender about your intentions and you should also be aware that the more distant the relationship with the seller, the more of a challenge you'll find it is to recruit a lender: you should consider hiring a mortgage broker (click for a free consultation) to help you.
Additionally there may be restrictions regarding matters such as if you intend that the seller should continue living in the property – many lenders will not allow this.
