When does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Shirley and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Shirley you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the sale agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Shirley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have used your best endeavours to find the lessor.

It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Shirley.
