I was advised by a few property agents in Brampton to find a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any commission for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

Last May I purchased a leasehold house in Brampton. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I have read on a number of online forums that when choosing a conveyancing firm they need approved by your lender. This is my first home move but I have an AIP with Santander and I already have a local conveyancing solicitor in Brampton lined up. Does Halifax require an approved conveyancer to be instructed? Does a list of approved solicitors even exist so I can appoint a conveyancing solicitor in Brampton?
You need to instruct a solicitor that is on the Halifax panel. Just call your preferred Brampton conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the Halifax panel. If they are not on the panel you have a number of options open to you here:
- Carry on with your preferred Brampton property lawyer but Halifax will undoubtedly retain a property lawyer from their conveyancing panel. The net impact is additional charges and probable interruption.
 - Get a new conveyancer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
 - Convince your property lawyer to do everything within their powers to get accepted on the Halifax panel of solicitors.
