When will exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Harmondsworth and do I need to attend the lawyers office?

If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Harmondsworth you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Harmondsworth)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

How does conveyancing in Harmondsworth differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Harmondsworth come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Harmondsworth typically buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Harmondsworth or who has acted in the same development.

The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
