At what point will exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Bowthorpe and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Bowthorpe you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with supply a national conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bowthorpe)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I require fast conveyancing in Bowthorpe as I have pressure to exchange contracts within one month. A mortgage is not required. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Edwardian house in Bowthorpe. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. 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). It is not completely unheard of in Bowthorpe and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I am buying a new build house in Bowthorpe with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it could adversely affect my loan with HSBC Bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Bowthorpe before appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks will not give a loan on a flying freehold property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bowthorpe. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
