What are your top tips when it comes to appointing a Lamorbey conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Lamorbey conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Lamorbey 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:

Can they put you in touch with clients in Lamorbey who can give a testimonial? What volume of lease extensions have they completed in Lamorbey in the last twenty four months?

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Lamorbey conveyancing firm to represent me?

My fiance and I are buying a 2 bedroom first floor flatin Lamorbey with a loan from a bank. We would like to retain our lawyer in Lamorbey but our bank inform us now that she’s not listed on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our bank panel solicitors or stay with our Lamorbey solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Lamorbey : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
