Please help. My Hedon lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toconduct Hedon conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Hedon conveyancing searches.
At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Hedon and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Hedon you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very 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 the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hedon)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in Hedon where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Hedon conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
