At what point will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Woodcote Green and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Woodcote Green you are invited in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Woodcote Green)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Woodcote Green. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Woodcote Green can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain works or require the consent of another owner. Many extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

My partner and I may need to let out our Woodcote Green ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Woodcote Green conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Woodcote Green do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
