When does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in South Ruislip and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in South Ruislip you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the property agreement is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to address the formalities 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 lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in South Ruislip)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Me and my brother own a renovated Georgian property in South Ruislip. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Barclays Direct to clarify?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in South Ruislip and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
I am purchasing my first flat in South Ruislip with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. South Ruislip is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Even where you use a solicitor outside South Ruislip you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in South Ruislip may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
