At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Cann Hall and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Cann Hall you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Cann Hall)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

As far as conveyancing in Cann Hall registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Cann Hall where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Cann Hall conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
