At what point will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Cheshunt and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Cheshunt you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Cheshunt)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Cheshunt. Does the solicitor order an energy performance certificate or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a compulsory component of moving property. An energy performance certificate should be to hand prior to the property being put on the market. This is not something that conveyancers normally arrange. If you are instructing a Cheshunt conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable local energy assessors
I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Cheshunt. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires 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 may be impacted by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
