When does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Wenvoe and do I need to attend the solicitors office?

Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Wenvoe you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure 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 Wenvoe)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Wenvoe I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wenvoe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold title is owned by the leaseholders. In this arrangement the tenants benefit from control and although a managing agent is usually retained where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Plenty Wenvoe leasehold flats will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building set by the freeholder. If you buy the apartment you will have to meet this amount, normally quarterly throughout the year. This could vary from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. There will also be a rentcharge to be met yearly, this is usually not a exorbitant sum, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to check as occasionally it could be many hundreds of pounds.
