Your conveyancer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Bilston will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of works or need the consent of a 3rd party.

I have been advised by a few estate agents in Bilston to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
We are 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the selling agent to carry out the conveyancing in Bilston. I am am very dissatisfied with the level of service. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
They would have to be really poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage offer been generated? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-sent. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added costs and delays. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.
