At what point does exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Salford and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?

If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Salford you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts 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 play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Salford)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Principality where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Salford.

Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Salford. 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 Clydesdale 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 Salford property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

I have justfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Salford for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Salford conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Salford differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Salford contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Salford tend to buy the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Salford or who has acted in the same development.
