At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Gipsy Hill and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?

Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Gipsy Hill you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts 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 lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Gipsy Hill)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Gipsy Hill. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

I have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in Gipsy Hill. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Lloyds?

You must advise Lloyds in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Lloyds will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel firm.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Santander are being problematic. The Gipsy Hill solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Santander are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander 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.

Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the primary reason for stalling in Gipsy Hill conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Gipsy Hill.
