When can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Stockwood and am I required to attend the lawyers office?

If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Stockwood you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stockwood)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 cause of stalling in Stockwood conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Stockwood.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Stockwood

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Stockwood conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

I pay a maintenance contribution for my first floor flat in Stockwood. As a result of personal circumstances I fell into arrears with remittance. The management company agreed a settlement schedule but there remains around £2000 outstanding at the current time.

I now wish to dispose of the property and I am panicking this could hold me back if I have to pay off the arrears in advance. I'd like to sell up and then discharge the arrears from the proceeds - is this achievable?

The conveyancer dealing with your Stockwood sale should be able to negotiate with the management company, and agree with them whether or not they would accept settlement out of the completion monies. This is an example of why it might be good to appoint a conveyancing practitioner in Stockwood as they are likely to have an open line of communication with the parties.
