At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Braunstone and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Braunstone you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide a countrywide 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 property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Braunstone)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I am purchasing a new build house in Braunstone with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
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 simple, chain free conveyancing. Braunstone is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Braunstone are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Braunstone you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Braunstone may determine 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.
