At what point does exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Trentham and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Trentham you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer 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 a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Trentham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Trentham I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Trentham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
