At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Mobberley and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?

If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Mobberley you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Mobberley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for obstruction in Mobberley conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Mobberley.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Mobberley is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Mobberley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Mobberley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mobberley may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Am I best advised to use a Mobberley conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal formalities however her office is 300kilometers drive away.

The benefit of a local Mobberley conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were impressed that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Mobberley conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Mobberley.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and service invoices should be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, 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 management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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
