At what point does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Ombersley and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Ombersley you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the property agreement 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 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 Ombersley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Ombersley. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Shortly after, the lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Ombersley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Ombersley conveyancing practitioner is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
My wife and I have a semi-detached Georgian house in Ombersley. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking TSB to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ombersley and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Ombersley I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ombersley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
