We chose a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Brentwood yesterday. Going through the terms of engagement it is apparent thatI am liable for costs even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Would I be best advised to use an on-line firm who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Brentwood?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to offset those transactions that fail to complete. Please beware that such arrangements generally do not protect you from disbursements such as Brentwood conveyancing search fees.
I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Brentwood. Almost all the properties are already sold. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Brentwood?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Brentwood conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Brentwood.

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Our mortgage broker has suggested using their property lawyer for the conveyancing in Brentwood - Surely it’s better to just use them?
It is worth checking if the selling agent is recommending a conveyancing practitioner or introducing to a property lawyer. There are plenty of Brentwood selling agents who recommend two or three Brentwood conveyancing firms and get nothing from it.
