At what point will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Liverpool and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Liverpool you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange 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 play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Liverpool)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Liverpool conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

Following the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates remained a mandatory component of selling a property. An energy performance certificate should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms normally arrange. Where you are using a Liverpool conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established local providers

I am purchasing a new build house in Liverpool with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
