When does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Hendon and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Hendon you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hendon)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
A colleague pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Hendon there could be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to the property. Is this right?
There are anumerous of properties in Hendon which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Hendon should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Hendon to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your services over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any commission for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
