When can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Llandaff and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Llandaff you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, 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 involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Llandaff)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

The estate agent will want to be informed of your lawyer's details (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list).

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Virgin Money will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Llandaff.
How does conveyancing in Llandaff differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Llandaff come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Llandaff typically buy the real estate, 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 Llandaff or who has acted in the same development.
