At what point will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Beddington and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Beddington you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Beddington)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Beddington I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Beddington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Beddington.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon however I have just received a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as you normally would as all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until 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
