At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Sawtry and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Sawtry you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Sawtry)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Sawtry building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Sawtry conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancing practitioner has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
