When can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Tarporley and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Tarporley you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities at the suitable time, 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 Tarporley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Can you help - my lawyer says that missing deeds insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Tarporley conveyancing?
The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Tarporley. The Tarporley property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Some lenders would take a sensible view as this provision is principally there to capture subsales or the flipping of property.
Is it the case that all Tarporley solicitor practices on the RBS conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Tarporley where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Tarporley conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
