When does exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Hexham and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Hexham you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hexham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Hexham?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Hexham.

I am purchasing my first flat in Hexham benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it would impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hexham is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Hexham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hexham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hexham may determine 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 property.
