At what point will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Chinatown and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Chinatown you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to address the formalities at the suitable time, 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 in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Chinatown)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Chinatown I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Chinatown suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
