Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Brentwood

Are the BSA intent on creating a searchable register to to identify law firms on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Brentwood?

We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.

My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Coventry BS as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Brentwood. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Brentwood solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Coventry BS don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Brentwood on 6/7/2026, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Our sealed bid on a house in Brentwood has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Brentwood. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Skipton going?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Brentwood conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Brentwood.

My wife and I have a semi-detached Victorian property in Brentwood. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Brentwood and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Brentwood I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Brentwood in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Brentwood and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act provides protection to business tenants, giving them the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Brentwood

My father-in-law has urged me to instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Brentwood. Do I follow his advice?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Brentwood conveyancing lawyer the best way to find a conveyancing lawyer is to get referrals from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
