The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in buying or selling property, trusted by some of the UK's leading mortgage companies.

Brinklow is one of the many areas in England and Wales where there are Accredited lawyers.
How does conveyancing in Brinklow differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Brinklow contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Brinklow tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Brinklow or who has acted in the same development.

Back In 2000, I bought a leasehold flat in Brinklow. Conveyancing and National Westminster Bank mortgage are in place.

The conveyancing solicitor in Brinklow who acted for me is not around. What should I do?

There is no need to instruct a Brinklow conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
