Selling or buying a home with our Kentish Town Conveyancing Solicitors
Kentish Town is a district and area of North London (some would say North West London but this would be splitting hairs) in the London Borough of Camden. It has a long history and curiously was the home of several piano and organ manufacturers in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Among various other idiosyncrasies of the area, a network of streets in the East of Kentish Town has streets named after places or persons connected with Christ Church, Oxford such as Oseney, Busby, Gaisford, and Caversham. Some of the freehold of these streets is still in the name of Christ Church Oxford and there's a similar story in a network of streets in the north of the area, which was part of a large estate owned by St John's College, Cambridge.,/div>
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.
In terms of landmarks and attractions for this well-connected and desirable area, there is the Forum, a music venue which has been open for decades and is perennially relevant, showcasing many different styles of music; the Dandy Lion market, with its mix of independent vintage items and affordable arts and crafts objects (Kentish Town Road/Islip Street); the beautiful Greek Orthodox Cathedral of St Andrew and, of course, Camden with its world famous markets and other attractions is within easy reach and Central London is but a bus ride – or longer walk – away.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Kentish Town 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:
Is it better if your solicitor is local?
Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, there is nothing particular to be gained by your solicitor being 'local' to you.
As a buyer, your solicitor has to examine property searches, look at your home buyers survey (if you've had one done), ensure your mortgage is in place, make enquiries about the title and protect your legal interests when buying.
As a seller, your solicitor has to prepare your contract of sale and pass on all necessary documentation tied to the sale and generally look after your interests as a seller.
None of the aforementioned jobs require your solicitor to be local and the checking of your ID which happens at the start of the process can be carried out electronically highly efficiently.
In fact, if you were to visit your solicitor in person to prove your ID etc., you might in theory have to pay for this by the hour (and pay for travel, take time off work etc.).
In contrast, if as a buyer you choose to book a home buyers survey, it is essential to employ a RICS surveyor who knows the locale as they will have seen possibly hundreds of properties in and around the area and will benefit from knowledge of things like the type and style of housing, and possible defects to look for.
