At what point will exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Brighstone and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?

Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Brighstone you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very 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 play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Brighstone)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I am purchasing a new build house in Brighstone benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with Virgin Money. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Back In 2007, I bought a leasehold house in Brighstone. Conveyancing and Santander mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Brighstone who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

First contact HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Brighstone conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I acquired a studio flat in Brighstone, conveyancing was carried out February 2008. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Brighstone with a long lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2090

With 66 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £12,400 and £14,200 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I have been advised by various estate agents that it can take up to two months for Brighstone conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The paperwork was only forwarded to my lawyer a couple of days ago so does the time start running now?
