At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Edenthorpe and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Edenthorpe you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer 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 a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Edenthorpe)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Edenthorpe I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Edenthorpe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have done all that could be expected to track down the freeholder.

It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Edenthorpe.
