On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your own lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of mortgage providers have an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the lender related work in your home move.

I pay a maintenance contribution for my ground floor flat in Brixton. Due to losing my job and other issues I slipped into arrears with remittance. The managing agents agreed a clearance plan but there is still three thousand pounds outstanding at the current time.
I want to sell and I am panicking this will threaten to derail the sale if I have to discharge the amount due first. Do I have to settle before - is this possible?
You should check with the solicitor undertaking your Brixton conveyancing but one option may be to agree for the arrears to be attributed to the buyers. The sale price they pay would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then discharge the fees after completion of the sale.
