When will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in St Clears and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in St Clears you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a national conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in St Clears)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Victorian house in St Clears. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in St Clears and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in St Clears differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in St Clears approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in St Clears usually purchase 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 used to new build conveyancing in St Clears or who has acted in the same development.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in St Clears
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred St Clears conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets set by senior management.
