When will exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Boldon and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Boldon you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive 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. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very 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 Boldon)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Boldon is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Boldon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Boldon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Boldon 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 premises.
We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the selling agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Boldon
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Boldon conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Boldon with the aim of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Boldon can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Boldon state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Should you fail to have the approvals in place do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor before hand. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Boldon levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Boldon. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic as opposed to unsettled.
