When does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Tulse Hill and am I required to be at the lawyers office?

Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Tulse Hill you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Tulse Hill)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

My wife and I purchased a terraced Georgian property in Tulse Hill. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Clydesdale to clarify?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Tulse Hill and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
