At what point will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Skellingthorpe and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Skellingthorpe you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which will usually be very 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 Skellingthorpe)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We're in Skellingthorpe, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Lloyds , and our solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Skellingthorpe and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Skellingthorpe lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Skellingthorpe. Having lived in Skellingthorpe for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Should I be suspicious by third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Skellingthorpe conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all recommend solicitors to retain. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.
My intention is to purchase a garden maisonette in Skellingthorpe. Conveyancing lawyer has been waiting for, from the seller, building insurance paperwork.

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Skellingthorpe to discover Conveyancing in Skellingthorpe in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the complete property - which is definitely preferable. You should check with your conveyancer but it would appear that your lawyer is looking to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt for lack of insurance cover.
