Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Laindon who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.

At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Laindon and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Laindon you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Laindon)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Laindon for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Laindon conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Laindon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Laindon contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Laindon typically 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 property lawyers 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 Laindon or who has acted in the same development.
