At what point will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Newton Abbot and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Newton Abbot you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange 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 involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Newton Abbot)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Newton Abbot is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Newton Abbot are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Newton Abbot you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Newton Abbot may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
