When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Mudeford and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Mudeford you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily 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 Mudeford)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Mudeford. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. Most banks would take a practical view as this clause chiefly exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We previously selected conveyancers based in Mudeford on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate fee for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Aldermore but by your Mudeford property lawyer. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Skipton as we want to conduct renovations to our home in Mudeford. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Mudeford solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Skipton do not ordinarily require a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
