When will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Levenshulme and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Levenshulme you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily 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 Levenshulme)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Levenshulme is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Levenshulme are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Levenshulme you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Levenshulme may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
