When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Lymm and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Lymm you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Lymm)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

How does conveyancing in Lymm differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Lymm approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Lymm usually acquire the site, 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 Lymm or who has acted in the same development.

As co-executor for the will of my aunt I am selling a property in Neath but I am based in Lymm. My solicitor (approximately 235 kilometers awayneeds me to sign a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Lymm who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a bungalow in Lymm which is to be marketed. The property is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm told that some EAs will insist that it is in place before they'll move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation you refer to it seems sensible to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
