Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Broughton or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Broughton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I've found a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it more attractive. I have just been informed that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are issues purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Broughton. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?
Most houses in Broughton are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in Broughton in which case you should be looking for a Broughton conveyancing practitioner and check that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example obtaining the landlord’spermission to conduct alterations. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the property is part of an estate. Your conveyancer should advise you fully on all the issues.
