At what point will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Marks Gate and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Marks Gate you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very 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 Marks Gate)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My husband and I are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Marks Gate with a residential mortgage from Barclays .We would like to retain our Marks Gate conveyancing lawyer but Barclays informed us she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Barclays panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Barclays panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Barclays approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Marks Gate I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Marks Gate suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
