I was advised by a few selling agents in New Brighton to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in New Brighton which have about 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
