At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Ferryhill and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Ferryhill you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, 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 in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Ferryhill)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I'm buying a new build house in Ferryhill with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.

I have just started marketing my 2 bed flat in Ferryhill. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the service charge as usual given that all ground rent and service charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I invested in buying a studio flat in Ferryhill, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1999. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Ferryhill with a long lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2102
With only 77 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
