At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Saxmundham and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Saxmundham you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Saxmundham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I used Stirling Law a few years past for my conveyancing in Saxmundham. Now, I need my files but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

I'm purchasing a new build house in Saxmundham with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my loan with Virgin Money. 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%.
