At what point does exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Broughton and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Broughton you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the important part. 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 a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Broughton)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Broughton. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Broughton?

Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
I am the sole recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Broughton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this requirement principally exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
