At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Chiseldon and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Chiseldon you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Chiseldon)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Chiseldon solicitor - who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Chiseldon surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
We are buying a house and the lawyer has identified Chancel Repair for which the property could be obligated to contribute to as it falls into the area of such a church. She has suggested insurance. Is this strictly warranted for conveyancing in Chiseldon
Unless a prior acquisition of the premises completed post 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Chiseldon to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Chiseldon. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Chiseldon and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
Much to my surprise my property lawyer in Chiseldon has informed me that he requires ID documents asserting that this forms part of his retainer as a conveyancer on the lender Conveyancing panel. Can you confirm whether this is the case?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require Chiseldon conveyancing solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer is right that the lender also require certain documents to be viewed. If a you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the mortgage company's UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements
