Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Silverton conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Silverton conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Silverton conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be of use:
-
If the firm is not ALEP accredited then what is the reason? How experienced is the firm with lease extension legislation?
