At what point does exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Brondesbury and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Brondesbury you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with offer a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Brondesbury)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

We had appointed conveyancers with offices in Brondesbury on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for handling the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Brondesbury conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Aldermore panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Brondesbury is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Brondesbury are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brondesbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brondesbury may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I have been recommended by numerous property agents in Brondesbury to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
