When does exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Willerby and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Willerby you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with provide a national conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the sale agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which will usually be very 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 Willerby)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Willerby conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We previously selected solicitors locally in Willerby on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further fee for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Willerby solicitor. Numerous firms on the Nationwide panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

How does conveyancing in Willerby differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Willerby come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Willerby typically buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Willerby or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Willerby is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Willerby 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 Willerby you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Willerby may decide 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 property.
