At what point does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Long Eaton and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Long Eaton you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, 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 Long Eaton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Long Eaton. The Long Eaton property was put into my name in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Aldermore are being difficult. The Long Eaton solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
