At what point will exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Southport and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Southport you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line 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 nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Southport)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am purchasing a end of terrace house in Southport. The intention is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property involve enquiries to determine if these works are allowed?
Your conveyancer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Southport will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain alterations or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
We expect to receive a AIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Southport solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Southport solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.

Your estate agent will wish to be advised as to your lawyer's details (make sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Yorkshire BS or your financial adviser and finalise any relevant forms. Yorkshire BS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to get a mortgage offer. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Southport.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Southport is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Southport are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Southport you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Southport may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
