When can the exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Leigh On Sea and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Leigh On Sea you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary 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 lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Leigh On Sea)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I just acquired a house at auction in Leigh On Sea. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now exchanged you now have to retain a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of urgency as you will have a tight a fixed date to complete the property. Every auction property will have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction pack should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You should give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Leigh On Sea. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. many lenders would take a practical view as this requirement primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
We were going to get a OIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Leigh On Sea solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Leigh On Sea solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
I am selling our property in Leigh On Sea and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Leigh On Sea. Having lived in Leigh On Sea for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am purchasing a new build house in Leigh On Sea with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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 CML website. CML 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.
