At what point will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Stockbridge and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Stockbridge you are welcome to come in to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stockbridge)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a searchable register to list solicitors on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for instance in Stockbridge?

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Stockbridge I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Stockbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Stockbridge
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Stockbridge conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
