When will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Bottesford and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Bottesford you are welcome to come in to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the property agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bottesford)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bottesford is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Bottesford are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bottesford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bottesford 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.
