At what point does exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Maidenbower and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Maidenbower you are invited in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure 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 Maidenbower)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Maidenbower 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
How does conveyancing in Maidenbower differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Maidenbower contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Maidenbower tend to buy 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Maidenbower or who has acted in the same development.
Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Maidenbower basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Maidenbower conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Maidenbower do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations.
