At what point will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Chew Magna and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Chew Magna you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Chew Magna)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Chew Magna. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to see if these alterations are permitted?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Chew Magna will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Many additions call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
We expect to receive a OIP from Virgin Money this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Chew Magna solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Chew Magna solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Chew Magna is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

What makes a Chew Magna lease unacceptable for security purposes?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Chew Magna. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. A duty to insure the building
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Nationwide Building Society, Leeds Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
