A mortgage agreement from NatWest for the remortgage of my 3 room maisonette is coming imminently. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Brighton?

This site is not designed to assist those in their quest for cut-price fees for conveyancing in Brighton.

The optimum outcome, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you invoiced for extras and still not get the service required.

I am buying a property without a mortgage in Brighton. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Brighton. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Brighton conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do consider; if you are going to dispose of the house at a future date, it will likely be be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where premises with day to day issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Brighton will be able to give you some helpful guidance concerning this.

We note that you have a search directory listing law firms on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Brighton?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Brighton.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for stalling in Brighton house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Brighton.

I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Brighton for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Brighton conveyancing specialists.

I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Brighton to choose a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than another?

We don’t offer any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
