Much like the wider economy activity remains steady but nothing to write home about. We are continuing to see reasonable levels of buyer interest but we are also seeing continued if not greater caution on the parts of buyers and their lenders. http://www.amberglobe.co.uk/search.aspx
One recent trend that has emerged is the role that solicitors are playing in a sale...or should I say their lack of it! Because the legal market has tightened and become very competitive on price we are seeing that solicitors who have provided a fixed price quote for a sale or purchase are refusing to deviate from their quoted work, so that for example they will not follow up or chase a landlord for his/her consent to an assignment of lease. This is frankly very time-consuming and landlords and their solicitors are usually in absolutely no hurry whatsoever to do the work. This can have a massive effect on how long it takes for a sale to complete and we are seeing deals collapse purely because of this, which is very frustrating for our clients.
As I have mentioned previously we have set up a joint venture with a highly experienced solicitor http://amberglobelegal.com/page/about/26/ who is consistently under-cutting other firms while still providing the type of service that you would expect. If you have not yet instructed a solicitor on your sale I would strongly urge you to get a quote from our solicitor....not only will you save yourself a great deal of money but you will also get a full legal service while considerably reducing the chances of your sale falling over.
