Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lambeth

When does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Lambeth and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?

If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Lambeth you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate 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 long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Lambeth)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

How does conveyancing in Lambeth differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Lambeth approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Lambeth 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 Lambeth or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Lambeth before instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to give a loan on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Lambeth. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Lambeth to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
