At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Chellaston and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Chellaston you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor 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 a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Chellaston)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I am the sole recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Chellaston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
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." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Chellaston bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Chellaston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Should my conveyancer be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Chellaston.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Chellaston. Plenty of people will buy a property in Chellaston, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Chellaston. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate response. The buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an enviro report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.
