When does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Wroxham and do I need to be at the lawyers office?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Wroxham you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Wroxham)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

About to purchase maisonette in Wroxham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wroxham lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wroxham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wroxham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wroxham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wroxham may ascertain 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 property.
