The property market in Leegomery is hotting up. What can I do to accelerate the legal process?
In a situation where you are under pressure to exchange we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will make use of local contacts and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they would have handled previoushomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Leegomery conveyancing solicitor. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is said that 18% of Leegomery conveyancing deals are delayed or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their banks panel.

It is said that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home moves every year. Almost all Leegomery conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
Having sold my house in Leegomery last June yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours to moan that his conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your disposal your conveyancer is duty bound to deliver the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where appropriate, your conveyancer should also confirm that the home loan has been repaid to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Leegomery.

When appointing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Leegomery conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you speak with several firms including non Leegomery conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be helpful:

Does this lease have in excess of 80 years left? Is the freehold reversion owned collectively by the tenants? Best to be warned if a new roof is being installed or some other major work is due in the foreseeable future to be shared by the leaseholders and will dramatically impact the level of the service costs or result in a one off payment.
