When does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Ruxley and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Ruxley you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Ruxley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We are selling our home in Ruxley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Ruxley lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ruxley. Having lived in Ruxley for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Ruxley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Ruxley contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Ruxley tend to purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Ruxley or who has acted in the same development.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we use their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Ruxley
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Ruxley conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
