When can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Waterbeach and am I required to be at the solicitors office?

If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Waterbeach you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure 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 Waterbeach)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am purchasing my first flat in Waterbeach with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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%.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my aunt I am disposing of a house in Newport but I am based in Waterbeach. My solicitor (approximately 250 kilometers from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Waterbeach to attest this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Waterbeach based
