When does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Edgware and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Edgware you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Edgware)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am planning on selling our home in Edgware and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Edgware lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Edgware. We have lived in Edgware for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I am attracted to a couple of flats in Edgware which have about 50 years left on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Edgware is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the marketability of the property. The majority of buyers and lenders, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Edgware conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

My a decade ago. He has since got married, divorced and is now married again. He will be marketing the apartment in a couple of months. I believe he will simply be requested to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner however he is concerned it could delay the home sale. Is it worth updating the Land Registry details for the house?
You are not required to bring up to date the title for the property on the basis that you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the change of name resulted.
The buyer’s conveyancing practitioner will check the registered information and require evidence to establish the change of name e.g. marriage certificates.
