When can the exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in West Green and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?

However, the law practices we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email.

Please help - my lawyer says that flying freehold insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in West Green?
The appropriate level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my West Green bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My West Green conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
How does conveyancing in West Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in West Green contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in West Green typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in West Green or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. West Green is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in West Green are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in West Green you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in West Green 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 property.
