At what point will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Bridlington and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Bridlington you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with provide a national conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bridlington)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Bridlington. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is principally there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Bridlington. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bridlington conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Bridlington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bridlington contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Bridlington usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bridlington or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Bridlington I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bridlington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
