When does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Molesey and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Molesey you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables 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 long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Molesey)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Molesey
Do not opt for the lowest Molesey conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We are planning to move house in September. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Molesey. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent however this should only take place once the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Molesey or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Molesey.
I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Molesey solicitor on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Molesey took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Molesey before retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a loan on a flying freehold house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Molesey. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Molesey to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an flat in Molesey agreed to, the vendor does however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Molesey. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Molesey conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nottingham approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Nottingham and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to proceed with searches.
