At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Morganstown and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Morganstown you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts 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 Morganstown)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Morganstown concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Morganstown differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Morganstown approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Morganstown tend to 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 used to new build conveyancing in Morganstown or who has acted in the same development.
