When does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Sowerby Bridge and do I need to be at the lawyers office?

If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Sowerby Bridge you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Sowerby Bridge)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Sowerby Bridge. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Sowerby Bridge and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Sowerby Bridge. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Sowerby Bridge

    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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Sowerby Bridge ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Sowerby Bridge. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Given that I will soon part with £400,000 on a garden flat in Sowerby Bridge I wish to talk to a lawyer regarding thetransaction in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
