At what point does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Mottingham and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Mottingham you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Mottingham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that could impact a commercial land in Mottingham?

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Mottingham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 residence 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'm buying my first flat in Mottingham with a mortgage from Barclays . The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
