When does exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Devizes and do I need to attend the solicitors office?

If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Devizes you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Devizes)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I have justbecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Devizes for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Devizes conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Devizes differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Devizes come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Devizes typically acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Devizes or who has acted in the same development.
