When will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Cowfold and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Cowfold you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the property agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, 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 a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Cowfold)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

My wife and I are in the throws of viewing houses in Cowfold and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with TSB.
It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Cowfold has been accepted, now what?
Your property agent will wish to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (make sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s panel). Contact Yorkshire BS or the broker and finalise any outstanding forms. Yorkshire BS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Cowfold.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Cowfold 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will be aware precisely where to find all the suitable paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.
How does conveyancing in Cowfold differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Cowfold contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Cowfold tend to 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Cowfold or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey done on a property in Cowfold prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not issue a loan on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Cowfold. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Cowfold to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
The conveyancers conducting our conveyancing in Cowfold has sent documents to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not currently recorded at HM Land Regsitry?
Whilst most properties in Cowfold are now registered with the Land Registry there are still some that remain unregistered. Any property in Cowfold that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Cowfold property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Cowfold conveyancing solicitors will be capable of dealing with such matters but in the event that uncertainty reigns the conventional advice presently is for the vendor’s solicitor to register the title first and thereafter sell - this undoubtedly cause a drawn-out transaction.
