At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Stokenchurch and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Stokenchurch you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stokenchurch)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am planning to move property in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Stokenchurch. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your selling agent however this should only occur once the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Stokenchurch or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Stokenchurch.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Stokenchurch conveyancing lawyers are selected. How long does it take for Barclays to send the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Barclays done the valuation? Have you informed Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We were going to get a AIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Stokenchurch solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Stokenchurch solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Stokenchurch completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 residence 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.
