I have been pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Acklam to select a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Acklam with the purpose of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Acklam can be reduced if you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Acklam leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such works. Where you dont have the paperwork in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor in the first instance. A minority of Acklam leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. Many freeholders or Management Companies in Acklam charge for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Acklam. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy formality and slows down many a Acklam home move. If a new share is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity.
I purchased a ground floor flat in Acklam, conveyancing formalities finalised 8 years ago.
