At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Lymm and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Lymm you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer 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 the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Lymm)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Lymm?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Lymm. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Lymm differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lymm approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Lymm tend to acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Lymm or who has acted in the same development.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandfather I am selling a house in Newport but reside in Lymm. My lawyer (approximately 200 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Lymm to witness and place their company stamp on the document?

My conveyancers in Lymm have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the lender Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
