At what point will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Knaresborough and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Knaresborough you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a national conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Knaresborough)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Knaresborough. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Knaresborough.
How does conveyancing in Knaresborough differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Knaresborough contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Knaresborough 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 conveyancers 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 Knaresborough or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Knaresborough is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Knaresborough are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Knaresborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Knaresborough may decide 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.
