I am searching for value for money property lawyer. Should I go for for an internet conveyancer rather than a high street Brentwood conveyancing solicitor?

Established third party relationships are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing lawyers.

Possessing a wealth of experience in the local area is also a plus .

Last July we completed a house move in Brentwood. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Brentwood?

The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Brentwood. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be incorrect, you could possibly take legal action against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Brentwood.

I'm buying a new build house in Brentwood with a loan from Halifax. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Brentwood is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Brentwood are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brentwood you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brentwood may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My husband and I are a fortnight into a residential purchase having been recommend to solicitors by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Brentwood. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

A lawyer would need to be very poor in order to consider replacing them. Has the loan offer been generated? If so you must inform them of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental fees and complications. That should be your starting point.
