I was advised by a number of estate agents in Castle Eden to locate a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any commission for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am four weeks into a residential purchase having been recommend to a firm by the selling agent to do our conveyancing in Castle Eden. I am am extremely dissatisfied with the level of service. Could you help me find new lawyers?
They would need to be really bad to suggest changing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-sent. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid escalating fees and complications. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

Being a tenant I am on the hook for a maintenance fee for my property in Castle Eden. Due to losing my job and personal issues I slipped into arrears with payments. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there remains a couple of outstanding at the current time.
I want to dispose of the property and I am panicking this can threaten to derail the sale if I have to discharge the amount due first. Do I have to settle before - is this practicable?
Do speak with the property lawyer undertaking your Castle Eden conveyancing but it might be possible to agree for the outstanding amount to be attributed to the buyers. The purchase price due would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then discharge the fees after completion of the purchase.
