At what point will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Colnbrook and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?

Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Colnbrook you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Colnbrook)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Colnbrook solicitor - who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Colnbrook postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Colnbrook.

How does conveyancing in Colnbrook differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Colnbrook contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Colnbrook usually acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Colnbrook or who has acted in the same development.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Colnbrook. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Colnbrook - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Best to be warned if a new roof is being put on or some other significant cost is coming up that will be shared by the leasehold owners and will dramatically impact the level of the maintenance fees or result in a specific payment.
