At what point does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Walthamstow Village and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Walthamstow Village you are invited in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed 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 when the time is right, which will usually be very 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 Walthamstow Village)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

How does conveyancing in Walthamstow Village differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Walthamstow Village approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Walthamstow Village usually purchase 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 conveyancers 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 Walthamstow Village or who has acted in the same development.
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Walthamstow Village basement flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Walthamstow Village conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
The lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the flat owner; specifically, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Walthamstow Village do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the sublease.
