At what point does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Elm Park and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Elm Park you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Elm Park)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Elm Park I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Elm Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we use their preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Elm Park
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Elm Park conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
