At what point will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Penwortham and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Penwortham you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Penwortham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I completed on my house on 4 August and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Penwortham expressed confidence that it should be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Penwortham particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Penwortham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Penwortham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Penwortham approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Penwortham typically acquire the site, 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 Penwortham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Penwortham is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Penwortham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Penwortham may determine 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 property.
