At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Polesworth and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?

The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Polesworth)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Polesworth agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Polesworth. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Polesworth conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.
I got the keys to my apartment on 4 April and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Polesworth said it should be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Polesworth particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Polesworth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Polesworth with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.
