When will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Dursley and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Dursley you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities at the appropriate time, 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 the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Dursley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Subsequently you should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Dursley or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Dursley.
My husband and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from HSBC as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Dursley. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Dursley solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
HSBC do not ordinarily appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC list.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, RBS are being pedantic. The Dursley solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
We are downsizing from our house in Dursley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Dursley. Having lived in Dursley for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am purchasing a new build house in Dursley with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.
