At what point does exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Hurst and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?

If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Hurst you are invited in to sign contracts.

A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange 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 involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hurst)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Hurst. I have a mortgage agreed with Co-operative. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Hurst lawyer having checked that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Hurst surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Hurst accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Hurst. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland going?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Hurst conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Hurst.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Hurst 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

Gone are the days when you need to have the physical official documentation to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or property, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hurst is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Hurst 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 Hurst you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hurst 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.
