When can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Chellaston and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Chellaston you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Chellaston)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Chellaston. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Chellaston?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Chellaston. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I currently have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Chellaston. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nottingham?
Your original mortgage agreement with Nottingham will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nottingham will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. You need not do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel lawyer.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Chellaston lawyer having made sure that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Chellaston postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Chellaston.
How does conveyancing in Chellaston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Chellaston come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Chellaston typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Chellaston or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Chellaston is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Chellaston 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 Chellaston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chellaston 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 premises.
As co-executor for the estate of my father I am selling a house in Neath but live in Chellaston. My lawyer (based 260 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a statutory declaration prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Chellaston who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Chellaston
