When will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Prescot and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?

Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Prescot you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. 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 electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Prescot)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Prescot is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Prescot are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Prescot you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Prescot may decide 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 premises.

I want to let out my leasehold flat in Prescot. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

Notwithstanding that your previous Prescot conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to seek permission from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
