At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Nunhead and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Nunhead you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Nunhead)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Nunhead. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
You must advise Virgin Money prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Virgin Money will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel lawyer.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Nunhead. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Nunhead conveyancer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Nunhead. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Nunhead - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Nunhead conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
