Upminster town is east of central London by around 17 miles. It has a good mix of shopping and residential areas. Its proximity to Hornchurch allows for many cultural activities to be enjoyed (large theatre and arts spaces), also, Romford is close, with its many entertainments. Upminster has a smock windmill in St Marys Lane which is one of only nine surviving windmills in Greater London. For families, a great time can be had in Thames Chase, a community forest located next to Pike Lane. There are plenty of play spaces, country walks and an excellent coffee shop.

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?
Upminster 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.

Can you pull out after exchange of contracts?
In simple terms, you can pull out after exchange of contracts, whether you're a buyer or a seller, but the law in England and Wales treats these sides very differently.
As a buyer, you can only exchange if you've transferred your deposit monies into the seller's solicitor's account. This is normally 10% of the property's selling price although a lower percentage can be agreed with the seller. If you pull out, you stand to lose 10% of the selling price under the law, even if you paid over an agreed deposit of less than 10%. The seller can also sue for losses resulting from the breach of contract.
As a seller, you could be sued for losses resulting from breach of contract. So from a buyer's perspective, they might sue the seller for items like mortgage costs (product fee, valuation fee etc.), survey costs and any deposit paid over for removals.
Therefore there are consequences for pulling out after exchange of contracts, however these clearly fall more heavily on the buyer pulling out rather than the seller.
