I am in need of a conveyancer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer rather than a local Brentford conveyancing solicitor?

Brentford is a special area, where regional know-how counts for a lot. The relaxed pace of life is great – just not when it comes to your conveyancing. The conveyancers that we list possess exhaustive Brentford knowledge with a positive, can doattitude that helps the conveyancing to progress actively engaging with all parties to reduce communication delays.

I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Brentford. What can I do to speed up matters?

First, If the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and intelligence. It is possible that they would have handled otherhomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a Brentford conveyancing lawyer. In addition, check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is said that 18% of Brentford conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being frustrated by almost three weeks. It is claimed that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home sales every year. Most Brentford conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check at the outset.

I purchased a freehold house in Brentford but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Brentford and has limited impact for conveyancing in Brentford but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Brentford

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Brentford conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
