When does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Thurrock and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Thurrock you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Thurrock)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Thurrock. I I would like to check if they are on the The Mortgage Works approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should phone the conveyancer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please get in touch with The Mortgage Works who may be able to help.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Thurrock is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Thurrock are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Thurrock you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thurrock may ascertain 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.
