At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Hampshire and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Hampshire you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement 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 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 Hampshire)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We are planning to move property in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Hampshire. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent however this should only take place when the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Hampshire or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Hampshire.
I am buying a property in Hampshire. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Hampshire. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
What does a local search inform me concerning the house my wife and I buying in Hampshire?
Hampshire conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for example Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Hampshire conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home. The search should reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic areas.
How does conveyancing in Hampshire differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hampshire come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Hampshire tend to acquire the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Hampshire or who has acted in the same development.
