At what point does exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in South Wimbledon and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in South Wimbledon you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in South Wimbledon)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

My partner and I are planning on selling our home in South Wimbledon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in South Wimbledon. We have lived in South Wimbledon for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in South Wimbledon took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Should I be suspicious about third parties that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a High Street South Wimbledon conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be very helpful. Yet there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all recommend conveyancers to instruct. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
