When will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in The Hyde and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?

If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in The Hyde you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for 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 long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in The Hyde)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in The Hyde. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I am the proprietor of a ground-floor 1960’s flat in The Hyde. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount payable for a lease extension?

if there is a missing landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the premium.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a The Hyde property is First Floor Flat 61 Wilberforce Road in March 2014. The premium payable was £10,130 and the case was remitted back to the Willesden County Court to effect the Vesting Order (Claim No 3W103100). This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 71 years.
