As a FTB what is the most important advice you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Fulham?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Fulham and elsewhere in West London is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, estate agent and sometimes a mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Fulham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a worrying emergence in the "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your solicitor ahead of all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

I was pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Fulham to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers rather than another?
We don’t offer any commission for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Fulham
It is improbable the owners are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk.

My partner and I may need to sub-let our Fulham basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Fulham conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Fulham conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
