At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Duxford and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Duxford you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Duxford)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My wife and I are buying a property in Duxford. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from RBS as we wish to carry out improvements to our property in Duxford. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Duxford solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
RBS don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS list.
Lloyds have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Duxford has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (be sure the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Lloyds or your broker and finalise any relevant documentation. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Duxford.
I acquired my apartment on 1 January and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Duxford expressed confidence that it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Duxford uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Duxford registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any other parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Duxford. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Duxford - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
