At what point does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Worplesdon and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Worplesdon you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Worplesdon)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Worplesdon is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Worplesdon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Worplesdon may determine 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.
We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Worplesdon
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Worplesdon conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
