When does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Grove and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Grove you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the critical part. 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 procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Grove)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. It is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Grove conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable local providers

One month into buying a residence in Grove. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the title is "Leasehold". Does this impact our lender’s valuation?
Grove conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the value significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a material effect on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your lawyer.
