Conveyancing: Bigger is Not Necessarily Better

Here at Brendan Fleming Solicitors of Birmingham, we deal with conveyancing matters on a comparatively small scale. Such being the case, it can be easy feel  threatened by the pressures on our business from the increase of indemnity premiums largely resulting from the requirements of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, who of course include all the major banks and financial institutions.

However, there is an equal concern at the lack of service delivered by these institutions; and at the delays in dealing with many of the fairly routine issues that arise from lenders’ instructions, and the need for compliance with those instructions by small firms such as Brendan Fleming.

The apparency is that there is no attempt to deal with matters raised by solicitors with these institutions in a prompt manner. The result is a knock-on effect whereby solicitors are blaming other solicitors for delays, and those solicitors are excusing themselves in turn because of the behaviour of these  looming financial institutions. And all the while, the respective clients of the two firms are suffering; and on occasions their business and personal activities are put at risk.

It must be noted that as a David to the financial Goliaths, Brendan Fleming Solicitors can say that we serve our clients particularly well in a personal capacity; and that we feel the bigger the institutions involved, the less service the clients can expect.

We pride ourselves in our expertise in the area of conveyancing. Based in  Birminghm, our practice extends over the entire Midlands  area:  Wolverhampton, Coventry; even so far afield as Derby and Nottingham.

Our conveyancing team is lead by Brian McGeown, an Associate Legal Executive having more than 35 years experience. An expert in his field, he is considered friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable.

His good advice extends to ensuring clients are fully aware of all the costs and expenses throughout their dealings with Brendan Fleming Solicitors. He has, through his hard work and expertise, earned himself some not-inconsiderable repute in the Midlands’ property world and is proud that, in over three decades of working in the legal profession, he has never had a single negligence claim against him.
