Local issues considered by Brentford Conveyancing Solicitors:

Fridaysmoves property lawyers in Brentford are on all UK mortgage lender panels, including:

My solicitor is not on my Lender's panel - what do I do?

Lenders maintain panels of law firms to perform mortgage legal work. While these panels were once open, allowing any firm to join, that is no longer the case. Lenders have also reduced the size of their panels, setting more restrictive criteria for membership. If your conveyancing solicitor is not on your preferred lender's panel, then the lender will not instruct that firm to act in connection with the mortgage. You then have a choice; you can either select a different lender or solicitor. It is possible to continue with your original choices, but your lender will expect you to pay for the legal costs relating to the mortgage. Bear in mind that it is usually more efficient and less expensive for the same firm act for you and your lender. If you instruct a different firm who is on your lender's panel, be aware that their quality and speed of service, along with the cost, may be quite different to that of your first choice. Before instructing another law firm, do your research as you would were they your first choice.

Brentford Stamp Duty Relief

Stamp duty relief may be available for property purchases in Brentford labelled as 'disadvantaged areas'. Areas designated are identified by local government ward or electoral divisions. For homes bought for less than £150,000, this relief may be available. Above £150k, no stamp duty relief may be available. By making a straightforward search by postcode, you can usually determine if a property purchase below £150,000 will benefit, however. Call for more information regarding Brentford disadvantaged areas, and to determine if your purchase is affected.
