When will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Melksham and do I need to be at the lawyers office?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Melksham you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a national conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure 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 Melksham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We are planning to move house in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Melksham. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent but this can only be done once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Melksham or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Melksham.
I am purchasing a property in Melksham. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Skipton your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Skipton where a lease does not satisfy these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Melksham.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Melksham solicitor having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Melksham postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Melksham.
I completed on my home on 4 January and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Melksham said it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Melksham uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Melksham is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

HMLR by statute are bound to note price paid data on the official title for residential properties nationwide including properties in Melksham. The register of title is a public document, so HMLR would be breaching their statutory obligations if they did not grant access to the register.
You can make a request of HM Land Registry to hide the price paid data yet the answer would be a No.
