At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Plaistow and do I need to attend the solicitors office?

If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Plaistow you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Plaistow)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I require fast conveyancing in Plaistow as I have a deadline to exchange contracts in less than one month. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are are a mortgage free buyer you have the choice not to have searches conducted although no solicitor would advise that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Plaistow the following are instances of what can crop up and therefore affect the marketability of the property: Enforcement Actions, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

I have justdiscovered that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Plaistow for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Plaistow conveyancing specialists.

I'm buying my first flat in Plaistow with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

I need to switch lawyers as my Plaistow lawyer is not on the mortgage company's approved list of conveyancing solicitors. Is it advisable to appoint a new law firm?

In the event that you have not formally instructed a solicitor to start work and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Plaistow that you're considering.
