As is the case with lots of professional services, often suggestions from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may put forward lawyers to appoint.

I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991.

Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

Builders have suggested I use a lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. It's almost three hundred pounds less expensive than my preferred Belbroughton conveyancing practitioner. Should I use them?
Developers often have lists of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the developer’s documentation and lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to choose their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests at the risk of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the case you should stick with your high street Belbroughton conveyancer.
