At what point does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in New Rossington and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in New Rossington you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities at the appropriate time, 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 long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in New Rossington)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We're in New Rossington, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am buying a new build apartment in New Rossington. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in New Rossington

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in New Rossington I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in New Rossington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a residence in Swansea but I am based in New Rossington. My solicitor (based 300 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in New Rossington who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are New Rossington based
I dont have enough spare funds to pay a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in New Rossington , but I am keen proceed. Do I have options?
One option is to try and agree a smaller deposit. Most property owners will accept a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
