Use my Estate Agents recommended conveyancing solicitor for Harrow
If you are buying through an Estate Agent, they’ll usually ask that you use their recommended conveyancer or solicitor, but you do NOT have to. It isn’t unusual for Agents to get a large commission from referring their clients to their conveyancers or solicitors, usually that referral fee is included in your Conveyancers fees.

Leasehold Property Conveyancing Harrow
A leasehold property is where the buyer gets the right to own and occupy a house or flat for a certain period of time. Leaseholders are also subject to the specific terms and conditions written in the Lease Contract. The duration of time purchased by the lease contract van go all the way up to 999 years.
We think it is very important that you select a knowledgeable Conveyancer that has loads of experience in acting for Lease Sales. A knowledgeable Conveyancing Solcitior knows all the types of pitfalls that can come up Lease Contracts, like:
1. your conveyancer will need to check out the duration still left on the leasehold contract as many lenders don’t allow a mortgage for a leasehold property that only has less than 60 years left.
2. the leasehold lawyer is required to confirm the small terms, conditions and specifications in the lease that could hinder the use, satisfaction and furtherdevelopment of the leasehold home.
Also remember that legal fees for a leasehold property can be more expensive than a freehold sale (for more info see: leasehold conveyancing).
Conveyancing Insurance
Conveyancing Firms come with Indemnity insurance during conveyancing transactions to protect against some sort of problems with the property which can not just be resolved swiftly, or can’t be resolved at all. Legal indemnity insurance protects the buyer and the mortgage provider if any decrease in value on the property as a result of any defect or legal issue. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ (CML) handbook for conveyancers says: “You must effect an indemnity insurance policy whenever the Lenders’ Handbook identifies that this is an acceptable or required course to us to ensure that the property has a good and marketable title at completion.”
