When will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Grasmere and do I need to attend the solicitors office?

That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email.

A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing.

I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Grasmere. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Principality?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Grasmere conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

I have just started marketing my garden flat in Grasmere. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as normal given that all rents and service payments will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
