At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Oxton and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Oxton you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Oxton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Co-operative are being problematic. The Oxton solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I am purchasing my first flat in Oxton with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it could affect my loan with the bank. 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.
My folks cant seem to find their Oxton property on the HMLR website. They recall that back in the 70’s when they bought the house there were complications concerning the post code not being recognised in some systems.
Almost all premises in Oxton should show up. Have you tried a search to simply the postcode. Normally it will reveal all the houses and flats inside that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title papers which may be with your parent’s lender.
