At what point will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Beaminster and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?

The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Beaminster. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Beaminster?

I'm the only recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Beaminster. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

Technically you could be impacted by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this provision principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Nottingham Building Society to clarify?

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Beaminster
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Beaminster conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
