When will exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Flint Mountain and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Flint Mountain you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Flint Mountain)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My father pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Flint Mountain there may be a number of restrictions preventing external changes to the property. Is this right?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Flint Mountain. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds your lawyer must follow the formal instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Flint Mountain.
We expect to receive a OIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Flint Mountain solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Flint Mountain solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
How does conveyancing in Flint Mountain differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Flint Mountain contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Flint Mountain typically buy the land, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Flint Mountain or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Flint Mountain is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Flint Mountain are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Flint Mountain you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Flint Mountain may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
