At what point does exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Stoke Newington and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Stoke Newington you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Newington)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Stoke Newington. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Barclays to clarify?
You should 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 Stoke Newington and other areas of 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 enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

My husband and I plan to purchase our first house in Stoke Newington. Conveyancing solicitor already instructed. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not necessary as the house was only constructed in 2001.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was built more than a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be enough. The report should highlight any apparent problems and suggest additional investigation where appropriate. If there are any indications of problems get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
