Why buy a home in North East London?
North East London in many ways is an artificial geographical construct because traditionally and going by postcodes, there is an N (North) area and an E (East) area but nothing NE. However, increasingly the area has become recognised in its own right because it makes little sense thinking of a suburb like Chingford as being in the East End when it is clearly far to the north of traditional East End areas such as Bow and Whitechapel. Hackney also is somewhat ambiguous – it's often thought to be part of the East End yet it's clearly somewhat north as is Dalston.
The area covers much of the path of the River Lee with its highly important reservoirs. Many of the suburbs towards the border with Essex are quite affluent, particularly Chingford and Higham's Park whereas Hackney has kept a traditional 'salt of the earth' reputation. That said, all the districts around Hackney, Dalston and Kingsland are these days regarded as fairly cosmopolitan, with a wide variety of small and larger-chain shops and fairly high property prices.
There are many beautiful parks in the area looking back to Victorian times such as Victoria Park itself and Hackney Downs. Walthamstow has seen considerable redevelopment and investment in recent years and is a brilliant communications hub for public transport as well as roads. The Hainault border with Essex is very near to the 'Golden Triangle' of Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill and Loughton.

There are numerous overland services covering the area and some tube stations on the Victoria Line, as it heads towards Walthamstow, and the Central Line, as it heads towards Hainault and Epping. In places like Hackney, getting about is easiest via the seemingly endless number of Red London buses. Liverpool Street Station is the main London terminus for many of the overland stations, particularly as it has a branch terminating at Chingford.

Should I use a Conveyancer or Conveyancing Solicitor near me?
Solicitors are usually more expensive that a conveyancer, which is fine as long as they specialise in property transactions. It can be beneficial to choose a solicitor in case of any complex legal complications with your transaction, but the best of both is to instruct a conveyancing solicitor who employs some other conveyancing professionals to complete the simpler parts of the work under their supervision, at a lower rate.Read our full guide: Licensed Conveyancer or Solicitor - Who should you choose to do your conveyancing?

Waiting till after your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. Using an online service cuts down on snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
As soon as your offer is accepted, you can submit your application. An independent broker can help speed this along.4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.5. Get your building insurance ready
You'll need insurance from the exchange so research & compare insurance quotes, once your solicitor is instructed.6. Paperwork (When selling)
Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
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 contiguous 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.

Will your solicitor accept cash to pay your exchange deposit?
Most solicitors will not accept cash as funds for paying for a property purchases. This is because it's almost impossible to prove the source of funds. If they do, they will probably put a limit of a few hundred pounds at most and even if you deposit a large sum of cash into a bank account, you'll most likely still have to compile robust evidence of its original provenance.
Solicitors must always carry out robust due diligence on the money which passes through their firms. They face jail terms and unlimited fines either for not adhering to money laundering regulations or for breaking laws on money laundering set down in the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (as amended).
None of this means that, for example, you can't use money for conveyancing that was legitimately derived from activities like gambling. It just means that, whatever the legitimate source of funds, you'll need to prove the legitimacy using for example bank account statements and legal, traceable receipts.
