When can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Hersham and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Hersham you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables 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 a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hersham)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Hersham I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hersham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in Hersham. Conveyancing and Accord Mortgages Ltd mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Hersham who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Hersham conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
