When will exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Plaistow and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Plaistow you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Plaistow)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Is it the case that all Plaistow solicitor firms on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

My wife and I are at the point of viewing houses in Plaistow and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a home loan with Yorkshire BS.
It would be advisable to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Aldermore are being difficult. The Plaistow solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Plaistow. Conveyancing and Virgin Money mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing solicitor in Plaistow who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Plaistow conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

My mum and dad are unable to locate their Plaistow property on the HM Land Registry site. They recall that back in the 70’s when they acquired the property there were complications with Plaistow not being recognised in some systems.
Nearly all residences in Plaistow should show up. Have you limited your search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it should identify all the premises inside that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s mortgage company.
