When will exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Great Harwood and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Great Harwood you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Great Harwood)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We are intent on selling our home in Great Harwood and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Great Harwood. Having lived in Great Harwood for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should check with 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 sickness)
How does conveyancing in Great Harwood differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Great Harwood come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Great Harwood usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Great Harwood or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Great Harwood is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Great Harwood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Great Harwood may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
