When does exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Bayswater and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Bayswater you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange 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 lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bayswater)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Bayswater I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bayswater for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I only have 68 years unexpired on my lease in Bayswater. I now wish to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What are my options?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the lessor. In some cases an enquiry agent may be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Bayswater.
