At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Watton and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?

Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Watton you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Watton)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Watton. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Watton?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

Our sealed bid on a detached house in Watton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Watton. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS going?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Watton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the RBS approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Watton.
