When does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Farnworth and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Farnworth you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Farnworth)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Farnworth took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Farnworth with a loan from Britannia. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with Britannia. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
